Triggers page
Create and edit triggers to fire off actions when a certain event has occurred.
Introduction
Triggers are rules or recipes that can "fire" an action when a certain session event occurs. Triggers can also be incorporated with extensions to provide additional notifications.
Types of triggers
From the Triggers page, you can create two different types of triggers:
| Trigger type | Description | Examples |
| Session | Uses ScreenConnect's session data, such as connection events, to trigger an email, web request, or a session event |
|
| Security | Uses ScreenConnect's security data, such as login data, to trigger an email or web request |
|
