Trigger Chain Configuration

  • extract_data — the scraping project above extracts product rows.
  • export_to_file — writes the dataset to a CSV file.
  • aws_s3 — uploads the CSV file to an S3 bucket.
  • slack_webhook — notifies a Slack channel after upload.

Trigger chains are configured in the RTILA X UI, not via project JSON. The AI assistant can discuss them but cannot generate trigger chain configurations.

Trigger chains run after a scraping project completes. They connect export, cloud upload, and notification steps without needing custom orchestrator code.
