Overview

The Center Profile Changed trigger starts an automation whenever you update specific fields in your childcare center's profile. This keeps your automations in sync with your latest center information — like contact details, capacity, or program offerings.

Perfect for keeping parents informed when your center details change or triggering internal notifications when key information is updated.

Trigger Name

Center Profile Changed

When This Trigger Fires

This automation runs when:

  • Your center profile is updated
  • The update matches one or more field conditions you've configured
  • You can choose specific fields to monitor (like program types, capacity, or operating hours)

When those fields change, the automation begins immediately.
