# Triggers

The Deploy add-on contributes the following triggers. The triggers fire on Umbraco Deploy lifecycle events.

| Deployment Failed    | `umbracoDeploy.taskFailed`       |
| Content Exported     | `umbracoDeploy.artifactExported` |
| Content Imported     | `umbracoDeploy.artifactImported` |

## Filesystem Triggers

| Display Name            | Alias                        |

## Remote and Disk Triggers

| Display Name            | Alias                           |

## Advanced Triggers

| Display Name                  | Alias                                  |

| User Files Updated            | `umbracoDeploy.userUpdated`            |

{% hint style="info" %}
The advanced triggers fire before the underlying Deploy operation runs. The automation observes the event but cannot cancel the Deploy operation through Automate.
