Separating trigger detection from action execution mirrors real automation architecture. False positive filters and rate limiting prevent runaway automations.

Prompt
Create an automation trigger configuration for the following scenario.\n\nWhen: {{trigger_condition}}\nThen: {{desired_action}}\nFrequency: {{frequency}}\n\nDefine the trigger:\n1. **Trigger type**: Event-based, time-based, or condition-based?\n2. **Detection logic**: How exactly should the system detect this trigger? Be specific about what to check.\n3. **Data to capture**: What information from the trigger event should be passed to the action?\n4. **Filters**: Under what conditions should the trigger be ignored (false positive prevention)?\n5. **Rate limiting**: Maximum number of times this trigger should fire per {{time_period}}\n\nThen define the action:\n1. **Action prompt**: The exact prompt to execute when triggered\n2. **Required context**: What additional data needs to be fetched before running the prompt?\n3. **Success criteria**: How to verify the action completed correctly\n4. **Notification**: Who should be notified and how (email, Slack, log only)?
