I was hoping that sending a null to a trigger-node would prevent it from triggering; it does not. I've since used a switch-node to filter flow. But, am I missing something; is there an easier way to stop a trigger-node from triggering?

Hi @xytsrm,

To cancel a trigger, send a `reset` property  
its in the help panel, and Node config

`msg.reset = true`

Thanks I'll give that a try.
