About the Event Source (Trigger)

An Event Source (or Trigger) is the first event processor in a flow. It receives a triggering event and creates a corresponding Mule event object to forward to the next component (or event processor) in the flow.

Event Source (or Trigger) examples

• HTTP Request

• JMS message

• Salesforce publish

• File poller

• Scheduler and more

You can also create your own event source using the Mule SDK.
