# Zapier Triggers

> Current trigger availability for the Botdog Zapier app.

Triggers are the starting point of a Zap: something happens, and Zapier runs your workflow.

## Current Botdog trigger status

Based on the live Botdog integration listing, Botdog currently focuses on an **action-first** setup (add contacts into Botdog campaigns). If you do not see Botdog trigger events in your Zap editor, start from another app as the trigger and use a Botdog action next.

## Source of truth

Zapier maintains the authoritative, real-time list of Botdog triggers and actions.

Open **[Botdog on Zapier](https://zapier.com/apps/botdog/integrations)** to see current triggers and templates.

## Typical flow when triggers are unavailable

1. In Zapier, create a new Zap and choose another app (for example, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Airtable, or Slack) as the trigger.
2. Connect your Botdog account using your API key. See [Zapier App Authentication](/zapier/authentication).
3. Add a Botdog action to push contacts into a campaign.
4. Test and publish the Zap.

If Botdog does not offer a trigger you need, consider starting the Zap from another app (for example, your CRM or a spreadsheet) and use a Botdog **action** to push data in. For custom logic, use **Webhooks by Zapier** or the HTTP API from [Quick start](/quickstart).
