# Triggers

> Learn about the different ways to start workflows in Attention.

Triggers define **when and how** a workflow begins. They can originate from Attention itself, from integrated apps, from scheduled times, or from webhooks.

***

## Trigger Types

### 1. Attention Triggers

Events from within Attention can start workflows. For example:

* Conversation Analyzed: fire a workflow whenever a call has been processed by Attention's intelligence layer.

[See all Attention Triggers](/builder-101/triggers/attention-triggers)

### 2. Integrated App Triggers

Changes in your connected apps can also start workflows. Examples include:

* Gmail: when a new email arrives
* Salesforce: when a record is updated
* HubSpot: when a contact or deal changes
* Google Sheets: when a new row is added

### 3. Scheduled Triggers

Start workflows on a predefined schedule:

* Every X minutes
* Hourly
* Daily
* Weekly

**Use cases:** Weekly recaps, nightly syncs, or periodic data checks.

### 4. Webhook Triggers

Catch an incoming webhook and start a workflow run.

* Works with any app that can send HTTP requests.
* Supports all standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
* Provides maximum flexibility for integrating with additional tools in your tech stack

## Configuring a Trigger

When you add a trigger to the canvas, you’ll see a configuration panel on the right-hand side. From here you can:

* Select the trigger type
* Connect the relevant account (if from an integration)
* Test the trigger to preview incoming data
