# How can I create triggers for a case?

There are three ways for triggers/alerts to be tied to a case:

1. Through integration with our API;
2. By manually creating a case by clicking on the + icon on the right and filling out the Triggers section; or

![](/files/9ix71cbBCsreavKhLRfh)

3\. By importing data and including *trigger\_rule* and *trigger\_date* as columns.

Once populated, you’ll see the triggers listed in the Overview section of the case.

{% hint style="info" %}
Instead of the default text field for adding triggers, the Hummingbird team can help you configure a list of triggers in a drop-down menu. Additionally, we can enable the ability for certain users to edit triggers. Please reach out to us (<support@hummingbird.co>) to learn more.
