# Triggers

> Start workflows from events and schedules

Triggers start [workflows](/concepts/workflows) without anyone asking: when
something happens in a connected tool, or on a schedule.

## Event triggers

Connect a workflow to events from tools like **GitHub** or **Linear** — "when
an issue is opened", "when a pull request merges". You choose which event types
and actions the trigger listens for, so the workflow only runs when it should.

Deliveries are secure and reliable: each trigger has its own unguessable
endpoint, every incoming event is signature-verified, duplicates are ignored,
and each delivery is recorded so you can see exactly which event started which
run.

## Scheduled triggers

Run a workflow on a schedule — "every weekday at 9:00", "the first of the
month" — in your timezone, including daylight-saving handling.

## Managing triggers

Triggers belong to a workflow and are managed from its page:

* A trigger only fires for **published** workflow versions — drafts never run
  from triggers.
* Every triggered run appears in the run history with the event that started
  it.
* Disable a trigger at any time without touching the workflow; re-enable when
  ready.
