I have 3 pipelines: `correctness`, `release` and `notify`. I want the first one to be triggered only for pull requests, release for pushes to master, and notify after all of these. I have specified “when” conditions for all the pipelines:

```auto
kind: pipeline
name: correctness
clone:
  disable: true
when:
  event:
  - pull_request
  branch:
  - master

---

kind: pipeline
name: release
when:
  event:
  - push
  branch:
  - master

---

kind: pipeline
name: notify
when:
  event:
  - pull_request
  - push
  branch:
  - master

```

However, all of them are triggered on non-master branches. It was told in the documentation that in order to trigger, all of the conditions must be met. Am I missing something?

Yes, this is the answer. Instead of `when` the `trigger` should be used, the syntax is the same.
