# Defining triggers and actions for a data store

You can define a trigger to initiate an action when an event occurs on the data store.

1. To define a trigger, in the **Page Tree,** right-click the required data

   store and from the list, select the required trigger.

![](/files/-M1ZzXy6TDdJkwH9YUOL)

The trigger is added for the data store.

2\. To define an action to be invoked for the trigger, right-click the required trigger.

![](/files/-M1ZzcLzeEv5DcEcQzA_)

The action to be invoked on the trigger is defined.

For example, if for a data store, you select **Trigger After Delete Record** as the trigger and **Confirm Message** as the action, then after every row deletion from the data store, a confirmation message will be displayed.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can define triggers and actions for all the other components in a similar manner.

Refer to the [**Working with page components**](/creating-pages/working-with-pages/working-with-page-components.md) section.
{% endhint %}
