# Event-based Triggers

Learn about supported Triggers in Couchdrop Automations

Automations activate when a particular trigger condition is met. This trigger is configured as the first action of a workflow.

### Trigger events

The following event triggers are available

{% hint style="info" %}
The trigger can be changed without affecting the rest of the workflow. 
{% endhint %}
