Honeycomb Triggers API is one of 21 APIs that [Honeycomb](https://apis.io/providers/honeycomb-io/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Triggers. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

Triggers let you receive notifications when your data in Honeycomb crosses the thresholds that you configure. The graph on which to alert is as flexible as a Honeycomb query, which helps reduce false positives due to known errors. Triggers support both standard event-based datasets and metrics datasets. Metrics triggers have additional capabilities such as granularity control. Learn more in the [Triggers documentation](https://docs.honeycomb.io/notify/alert/triggers/). This API allows you to list, create, update, and delete Triggers. ## Authorization The API key must have the **Manage Triggers** permission. Learn more about [API keys here](https://docs.honeycomb.io/configure/environments/manage-api-keys/).
