# Triggers

> Start Power Automate flows when envelopes complete, recipients sign, or emails bounce

A **trigger** is an event that starts a flow. In Power Automate, you can use triggers to start a flow when something happens in an envelope, a recipient, or a deliverable.

For example, you can start a flow when a deliverable (the signed document) is generated, or when an email to a recipient bounces.

## Filtering Triggers

You can filter triggers using **topics**. This allows you to limit events to only the envelopes you're interested in. Learn more in [Topics](/docs/integrations/power-automate/envelopes/topics).

## Most Used Triggers

SignatureAPI offers [a full set of triggers](#all-triggers) to help you automate your workflows. Below are some of the most commonly used ones:

### When a deliverable is generated

Most electronic signature workflows use two flows:

1. A flow that creates an envelope, usually triggered by an event in another app (for example, when a new customer is added to a CRM).
2. A second flow that runs when the envelope is completed. It retrieves the deliverable (the signed document) and uses it, such as storing it in a document repository or sending it to a supervisor.

For the second flow, use the **When a deliverable is generated** trigger. This trigger runs when the envelope is completed and the deliverable PDF is created. You can then retrieve the PDF and use it in your flow.

### When a recipient is completed

The **When a recipient is completed** trigger runs when a recipient finishes their part of the signing process.

You can use it to start a flow that sends a notification or updates another system (such as a SharePoint list).
