# Dispatch in your workflows

> The triggers Dispatch contributes and the job fields it adds to your existing estimate and invoice triggers.

## Automations

Dispatch contributes its own triggers into your CRM's workflow engine, and workflows can create dispatch jobs in return. The follow-up text, the review request, the internal alert and the invoice draft all run on the same automation engine as the rest of your CRM, with no connector in the middle.

It also adds job fields to four existing triggers - `estimate_accepted`, `estimate_declined`, `invoice_paid` and `invoice_refunded` - so a recipe can branch on the job behind a document rather than only on the document itself.

| Field | What it holds |
|-------|---------------|
| `event.dispatchJobId` | The job the document belongs to |
| `event.dispatchJobNumber` | The job number a person would recognise |
| `event.dispatchPropertyId` | The property the work is at |
| `event.dispatchServiceType` | The service type, or empty when the job has none |
| `event.dispatchJobStatus` | The job's status when the trigger fired |

The two invoice triggers carry three more, because a payment on a deposit and a payment on a final balance are different events to you:

| Field | What it holds |
|-------|---------------|
| `event.dispatchInvoiceRole` | `deposit`, `balance`, `milestone` or `standard` |
| `event.dispatchParentInvoiceId` | The invoice this one is part of, when it is part of one |
| `event.dispatchPacketSettled` | True on the payment that clears the last part of a multi-part packet |

`dispatchPacketSettled` is the one to filter on for "the job is fully paid, close it out". A rule on `balance` fires on the first balance part rather than the last, and a rule on the parent invoice never fires at all.

If one of these fields is missing from an event, the job behind that document could not be resolved, and a condition testing it fails closed. A recipe waiting on a deposit does not fire on everything instead.
