The Process & App Monitor Trigger watches any application or background process that runs under Microsoft Windows. When the Trigger launches a Task, it is ready to provide a workflow (any Action) with current data from the monitored app.
| Variable | Details |
|---|---|
| Executable | Contains a full path and executable file.
Example:
|
| Process name | Friendly name of the monitored app or process (if authors of the app provided one).
Example:
|
| Process ID | A process identifier (aka PID), that can later be used to manipulate a particular instance (if multiple processes with the same name are running).
Example:
|
| Adjust* | Streamline creation of Task workflows even further—instantly make quick variable adjustments such as in-place replacement (all, first, or last occurrence), trimming (whitespaces, quotes, etc.), or changing capitalization. Optionally, set a different display name. |
