# Site Offline

> Trigger when a site fails to check in with the management system for more than 5 minutes.

Triggers start workflow execution. A valid workflow should have exactly one trigger node. This trigger is the entry point for a workflow run and should be connected to the first downstream action or condition.

## When To Use

* Open high-priority incidents for production sites.
* Send lower-priority notifications for lab/dev sites.

## Configuration Checklist

1. Use Site Offline as the trigger for heartbeat-loss events.
2. Add context enrichment actions (site details, tags, ownership).
3. Route by impact level using conditions.
4. Escalate to on-call channels when criteria are met.

## Inputs

* Node metadata in `node.data`: `uiId` and `componentId`.
* Trigger-specific configuration from the node form (for example schedule or API trigger settings).
* No upstream node input is required because this is the workflow entrypoint.

## Outputs

* Produces the initial workflow context (the `trigger` payload) for downstream nodes.
* Exposes trigger/event data that subsequent actions and conditions can reference.
* Starts execution flow for connected nodes.

## Failure Modes

* Missing or invalid trigger configuration fields.
* Workflow disabled/inactive, so the trigger does not execute.
* Event payload missing fields expected by downstream nodes.
* Permission/integration issues that prevent trigger invocation.

## Best Practices

* Place this as the first node and connect it to the first action or condition.
* Keep trigger payload shape stable so downstream mappings remain reliable.
