This trigger action is found under the Trigger heading.

When dragged onto the canvas, the appearance of the action is a rectangle with two routing points.

The left routing point (red) is the failure route. This route will be taken if there is an error during execution.

The right routing point (green) is the success route. This route will be taken if action executes successfully.

Name	Type	Required	Descriptions
Key	String	Yes	The key of the dynamic.exec.
Timeout	String		The amount of time to wait for the dynamic.exec to execute the sub-trigger. If the timeout is omitted, the sub-trigger will be executed as a fire-and-forget trigger. If you want output, a timeout must be specified.,
Input	String or JSON		The input must be a string or a JSON object. If invoked with a string, then $(event.input) will be a simple string value, if JSON is passed to the input, then it will be an object. If an object, then JSON like {"value":10} will be accessed as $(event.input.value).

A trigger with a dynamic event key = abc is called and the input 10 is passed. For a more detailed example, see object.iterator action.
