    • XMPP Trigger: Use XMPP messages to trigger services, enabling real-time communication and automation.
    • Redis Listener Trigger: Automatically invoke services in response to events from Redis, facilitating reactive programming.
    • RSS Trigger: Set up services to be triggered by updates to an RSS feed, allowing for timely responses to content changes.
    • Tracker Resubmit Trigger: Resubmit tracker events to a service for reprocessing or auditing.
    • URL Alias Trigger: Use URL aliases to trigger services, providing flexibility in service invocation.
