It allows Workflows to be initiated based on external events or data changes. You can configure the Webhook trigger to listen for specific HTTP requests and trigger the Workflow accordingly. This trigger is useful for building automated Workflows that respond to external events such as data updates or notifications from other systems.
What-If Analysis
Analysis of a What-If Formulae with applied filters is known as What-If Analysis. You have the ability to adjust or modify the values of the variables used in the What-If Formulae while performing a What-If Analysis. This also allows you to explore a broader range of scenarios by running various analysis conditions. What-If Analysis helps you define and manage the parameters for different scenarios and set alerts.
What-If Formulae
The What-If Formulae help you explore different scenarios using one or more formulas on measures, expressions, and fixed values. They use the goal-seeking method to provide suggestions. In other words, if you don’t know the input value for an expression but know the desired result, the What-If Formulae suggest inputs to help you achieve it. You can also apply filters to the What-If Formulae based on dimensions available in the Datasource.
