You can use these triggers to start a job when a Shopify event occurs.

---

## Triggers

All triggers can be create folllowing the same pattern:

```ts
shopify.on("topic")
```

<ParamField body="topic" type="string">
  The webhook topic you want to subscribe to. Generally a pattern of `<resource>/<action>`.
</ParamField>

### Helpers

The `filter()` method returns a new trigger with the applied payload filter:

```ts
const trigger = shopify.on("topic").filter(filter)
```

<ResponseField name="filter" type="EventFilter" required>
  A filter to apply to the event. See our [EventFilter guide](/documentation/guides/event-filter).
</ResponseField>

## Events

What follows is a small selection of webhook topics and associated payloads. A complete list of possible topic names and payloads can be found [here](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2023-07/resources/webhook#event-topics).
