+## Trigger id
+
+All triggers can be assigned an optional `id`. If the id is omitted, it will instead be set to the index of the trigger. The `id` can be referenced from trigger conditions.

+```yaml
+automation:
+  trigger:
+    - platform: event
+      event_type: "MY_CUSTOM_EVENT"
+      id: "custom_event"
+    - platform: mqtt
+      topic: "living_room/switch/ac"
+      id: "ac_on"
+    - platform: state  # This trigger will be assigned id="2"
