# Event Trigger
The Event Trigger allows [Moodle Events](https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Event_2) to be monitored and a *workflow* to be triggered when that event occurs.
One of the main use cases of this plugin is to allow Moodle events to trigger actions in external systems.
Each workflow is made up of a series of *steps*. Steps can be things like:
* Using event data to *lookup* user and course information
* *Filtering* data based on a set of conditions
* Performing an *action* like sending an email or Posting data to a HTTP endpoint or external API.
The plugin is designed to be extensible and contributions are welcome to extend the available actions.
