# Triggering Workflows

> Triggering workflows in Paragon

**All Paragon workflows start with a trigger**, which determines when the workflow will run and how data is passed into the workflow.

Click into any of the triggers below to learn more about the trigger type and how to configure it for your workflow.

  <Card title="App Event" href="/workflows/triggers/app-events">
    Use one event from your app to trigger workflow(s) across any integrations.

    <br />**Example**: "Contact Created" event from your app routes to Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive (depending on what integrations are connected)
  </Card>

  <Card title="Request" href="/workflows/triggers/request-trigger">
    Send an HTTP request from your app to a specific integration and workflow, optionally receiving a synchronous response.

    <br />**Example**: Expose an HTTP endpoint to a workflow that searches Google Drive documents and returns results to your app.
