only if they come as attackers, possibly if they go berserk. Otherwise you need to somehow put webs on your cage traps or stun them some way, since stunned creatures trigger traps even if they normally don't

alternatively. Fill a hallway with cage traps. Put a bridge on either side. Trap the caravan inside. Pull another trigger, manually operate the cage traps (pretty sure that works)

no, not really, you can't manually trigger cage traps, only to release whatever is inside. What you can do is put a retracting bridge over cage traps and drop them on the cages. This will stun them so they can be caught
