A Twenty app's **logic layer** is the code that *runs* — server-side TypeScript handlers reacting to HTTP requests, cron schedules, and record changes; AI skills and agents that live inside the workspace; and OAuth connections that let your functions act on a user's behalf in third-party services.

## Trigger types at a glance
|
|
|
|
A logic function picks one or more triggers — every entry below is a separate field on `defineLogicFunction()`:
|
|
|
|
| Trigger | When it runs | Setting |
|
|
|---------|--------------|---------|
|
|
| **HTTP route** | A request hits your `/s/<path>` endpoint | `httpRouteTriggerSettings` |
|
|
| **Cron** | A CRON expression matches | `cronTriggerSettings` |
|
|
| **Database event** | A workspace record is created, updated, or deleted | `databaseEventTriggerSettings` |
|
|
| **AI tool** | A Twenty AI feature decides to call your function | `toolTriggerSettings` |
|
|
| **Workflow action** | A workflow step invokes your function | `workflowActionTriggerSettings` |
|
|
|
|
Functions run sandboxed in isolated Node.js processes and access the workspace through a typed API client scoped to the role declared on [`defineApplication()`](/developers/extend/apps/config/application).
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
**Install-time hooks** — code that runs before or after the install — share this runtime but use their own define functions and live under [Config → Install Hooks](/developers/extend/apps/config/install-hooks).
