### What are triggers
|
||||
|
||||
Triggers are what starts the processing of an automation rule. When _any_ of the automation's triggers becomes true (trigger _fires_), Home Assistant will validate the [conditions](/docs/automation/condition/), if any, and call the [action](/docs/automation/action/).
|
||||
|
||||
An automation can be triggered by an event, with a certain entity state, at a given time, and more. These can be specified directly or more flexible via templates. It is also possible to specify multiple triggers for one automation.
|
||||
|
||||
The following sections introduce all trigger types and further details to get started.
|
||||
|
||||
### Event trigger
|
||||
|
||||
Fires when an event is being received. Events are the raw building blocks of Home Assistant. You can match events on just the event name or also require specific event data to be present.
