Triggers are building nodes that launch a workflow regardless of the type of the workflow (a customer workflow or non-customer scenario). The **Triggers** section contains two main types of triggers: scheduled and instant. Both types can be used in a customer workflow and workspace-oriented scenarios. Triggers can be also divided into customer-oriented and workspace-oriented.

### Usage guidelines

- A trigger is always the first step in the workflow.
- You can use several triggers simultaneously (connect them to [Merge Paths](/docs/automation/flow-control/merge-paths-node) node).
- When you use several triggers at the time, they are linked with each other by `OR` dependency. It means only one activated trigger is enough to start the workflow. 
- The starting point of the workflow is tracked by default (you can switch it off). When a profile starts a workflow, this is marked on the list of activity on their profile's card. 

### Processing multiple triggers in a scenario
---
Remember that every scenario can contain more than one trigger, though, some of the elements can't be joined. To prevent errors in the flow logic, we introduced a dynamic validation. If you add one type of the node, the next elements will be proposed in accordance with the logic of node combinations.
