# Triggers

> Learn about different types of triggers in PandaSuite, including user behaviors and component-specific triggers, with a guide on adding and auto-triggering actions.

https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/interactions/triggers/

**Each object has its own triggering events. It can be a user behavior (click, tap ...) or a feature of a component (pause ...). Each trigger is associated with an action.**

## Add a trigger

To add a trigger, select an object and go to Actions. Click the **+** button. Choose the trigger and then [an action](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/interactions/interactive-actions/).

[Image: Actions tab of a button: after clicking +, the Action window asks you to select a trigger (tap, swipe, mouse over…)]

> **Info**
>
> You can create 2 actions with 2 different triggers on the same object.

## Standard triggers

These triggers are available for all graphic objects (text, image, Pop-up, Gallery, shape...). They correspond to an action of the user on this object:

- **Tap / Click**
- **Double tap / click**
- **Touch down:** when the screen is touched.
- **Touch up:** when the screen is no longer touched.
- **Swipe down**
- **Swipe up**
- **Swipe left**
- **Swipe right**
- **Mouse over:** when the cursor enters the object area.
- **Mouse out:** when the cursor leavers the object area.

## Component triggers

Some components have specific triggers related to their characteristics.

For example, here are the triggers of the [Video Player](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/multimedia/insert-video/):

If you create [markers](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/interactions/markers/) on your component, they appear at the top of the list.

A few components discover their triggers from an external system: the [D-ID Agent](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/components/d-id-agent/) turns each Client Tool of your AI agent into a trigger event, so its list depends on the agent you synchronized.

For more information, please refer to the corresponding article for each component.

## Auto trigger an action

To automatically trigger an action (without user action), select the screen or report and the trigger: **Display screen** or **Display state**. The action will be initiated automatically when it loads.
