# Set up SQL triggers

You can automatically start a data entry workflow with a SQL trigger.

You can generate the SQL triggers in your database. So, no custom coding is required in the database.

Before you generate the SQL triggers in your database, define the desired SQL triggers.

### Steps

1. Go to **Data entry workflow** > **Setup** > **SQL Trigger**.
2. Click **New**.
3. In the **Table name** field, enter or select a value.
4. You can create a SQL trigger for record update or record insertion.

In the **Event type** field, select an option.
5. Generate the SQL trigger in your database.

Click **Create triggers**.

> [!NOTE]
> **Notes**
> 
> To view the created SQL triggers, click **SQL triggers**. All data entry workflow SQL triggers that exist in the database are shown.
