# Triggers

*Triggers* are combinations of **events** and **handlers** for those events. Most actions that dexi.io carries out, such as finishing an execution, adding rows to a dataset or modifying a dictionary entry, trigger events. Using the triggers tool you are now able to *listen* for those events and carry out specific actions when those events are triggered.

**How can I set a trigger up?** You can set up triggers in the configuration panel for the specific asset you want to work with. ![1.png](https://cdn.document360.io/03076343-9561-4857-8a4e-9f3bfed20ced/Images/Documentation/1%2813%29.png)

The following asset types support triggers so far:

- Run configurations
- Datasets
- Dictionaries
- AutoBots

              
              

Triggers do not currently work for the **Input in Results **checkbox for Extractor robots.

You can then select the **Add trigger** button in order to bring up a configuration dialog for setting up the necessary event/handler pair.
