Starting jobs and crawlers using triggers - AWS Glue
Services or capabilities described in AWS documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud Region, see the AWS European Sovereign Cloud User Guide.

Starting jobs and crawlers using triggers

In AWS Glue, you can create Data Catalog objects called triggers, which you can use to either manually or automatically start one or more crawlers or extract, transform, and load (ETL) jobs. Using triggers, you can design a chain of dependent jobs and crawlers.

Note

You can accomplish the same thing by defining workflows. Workflows are preferred for creating complex multi-job ETL operations. For more information, see Performing complex ETL activities using blueprints and workflows in AWS Glue.
