Setting up your first event trigger
===================================

You can use Hasura to setup event triggers which call configured webhooks whenever specific database events occur.
Let's create a sample event trigger with https://httpbin.org as our simple webhook.
Create a table
--------------
Head to the Hasura console, navigate to ``Data -> Create table`` and create a sample table called ``profile`` with
the following columns:
.. code-block:: sql
profile (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT
)
.. thumbnail:: ../../../img/graphql/manual/getting-started/create-profile-table.png
Setup an event trigger
----------------------
In the Hasura console, navigate to ``Events -> Create trigger`` and:
1. Enter trigger name as ``echo``.
2. Select table ``profile`` from the table dropdown.
3. Select operations: ``insert``, ``update`` and ``delete``.
4. Enter webhook URL as: ``https://httpbin.org/post``.

This sets up our webhook ``https://httpbin.org/post`` to receive database changes on insert, update and delete on
``profile`` table.
Watch the trigger in action
---------------------------
1. Insert some sample data into the ``profile`` table using the ``Insert Row`` tab.
2. Now navigate to the ``Events`` tab and click on the ``echo`` trigger in the left sidebar.
3. Expand the details of an event to see the response from the webhook.
