# Triggers
Tab **Triggers** enables management of mechanisms that initiate the operation of DLP policies. Triggers are triggers that start specific actions or notifications according to user configuration. They allow defining “situations” that must occur in order to activate a given DLP rule.
**Example:** A trigger can be a file deletion by a user – this event will initiate the rule’s operation.
In the newly opened tab there is an area with the text **“When it happens...”**. This is precisely where you configure the triggers responsible for initiating the operation of the rule in the system.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://eaclouddoc.eauditor.eu/eacloud-docs-en/features/data-loss-prevention/dlp-policies-and-rules/triggers.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
