Workflow triggers

The points where a workflow can run: each operation of kernel/content/operation_definition.php, kernel/shop/operation_definition.php, kernel/user/operation_definition.php and its pre_ (before) and post_ (after) triggers. Connect a workflow at Setup > Triggers; the operation's parameters are what its events receive.
