Fastr Workspace - Interactions Overview

Overview 

This article provides a brief overview of how to use Interactions within your content. This goes over how you can make any widget clickable, or adding mouseover effects and animations. For more specific details on the interaction types, each section has a link to an article with more details. 

To add an interaction on any widget, you just need to select the widget and go to the Interact tab. From here you will click on the plus icon to get started. Please note that if your widget is not on a board, you will not see this plus icon.  

In general, an interaction is made from having a Trigger and an Action. For example, you might have the trigger as "On Click", and the action is "Open URL". An alternative example could be the trigger for "On Mouse Hover", with the action as "Change Opacity". So combining a trigger and an action can lead to creative complex interactive designs. You can see two different examples here: 

Triggers
