# Train the Triggers

In the previous section, we configured the different inputs/outputs that are associated with the intent. The next step is to define *triggers* which would help the *agent* to identify the intent to use from the User utterances.

To add triggers, select the *Trigger* button under the *Action*.

Triggers allow you to define a collection of sentences or phrases which would be considered as a trigger for the intent. These could be explicit statements that help identify the intents or could be indirect references. For example, for the *applyLeave* intent, the user can interact with the chatbot in any of the following ways.

```
i need a leave
i am sick
I am planning some time off
```

You can also select to *auto translate* the texts to support a multilingual chatbot.

Each of the above states different ways a user might interact with the chatbot about the need for taking a day off. If the chatbot detects any of these, it would recognize the intent that needs to be considered as *applyLeave*.
