Onramp
Range trigger
Splits a number into below, between and above two limits. Whichever band the number is in is on.
| Port | Side | What it carries |
|---|---|---|
enable | In | Optional. While it is off, every band is off. If nothing is wired to it, the trigger is always enabled. |
amount | In | The number to watch, such as a balance or a forecast low point. |
lower limit | In | Optional. A number that sets the lower limit, in place of the one typed on the card. |
upper limit | In | Optional. A number that sets the upper limit, in place of the one typed on the card. |
below | Out | On while the amount is under the lower limit. |
between | Out | On while the amount is at or above the lower limit and under the upper one. |
above | Out | On while the amount is at or above the upper limit. |
What you choose
Two limits. Double-click the card and type them under the track, or wire a number to either limit so it follows something else — last month's low, or a covenant figure kept in a Number.
Then wire the band you care about. Most alerts need only one: below for a cash floor, above for excess cash worth moving.
What Fluidly decides
Exactly one band is on at any time, and the card shows which: the marker sits in its band, and the amount floats above the track.
The trigger states a fact for as long as it is true. It does not send anything when the balance drops; below simply turns on, and stays on until the balance recovers. An Email wired to it sends once, when it turns on.
If you have not set an upper limit when the first amount arrives, Fluidly sets it to the next round figure above — 100,000 for a balance of 73,000 — so the marker lands somewhere sensible.
Enable
The enable port at the top switches the whole trigger off. Wire a Toggle there to pause an alert during month-end, or a Calendar so it only watches during office hours. The card's border shows the enable's state.
Example
Bank Account → Range trigger → Email, with below wired to the Email: a message the moment the balance falls under the floor you set, and no more until it has recovered and fallen again.
