# Workflow Trigger: Trigger Link Clicked

*In this article, you will learn how to set up a Trigger Link, what it can be used for, and one example. Essentially it is a hyperlink, that when clicked on can be tracked with the ability to trigger automations.*

**Step 1:** Start a new workflow or edit an existing one

**Step 2:** Creating and Editing the Trigger

* Click “**Add New Workflow Trigger**”

* If your Workflow is ready to be enabled, make sure the toggle switch under **Save** is set to **Publish**
* Be sure to test your Workflow to ensure it is set up correctly using the **Test Workflow** button next to the **Publish** toggle switch.
* For an in-depth overview of Workflow Testing see our article, “Using the Testing Features in Workflows”
