# Apex Triggers

**Apex triggers** enable you to perform custom actions before or after events to records in **Salesforce**, such as insertions, updates, or deletions.� You can know more about Apex triggers [here](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_triggers.htm).

2. **Lead Trigger** - If there is any change to the Lead then lead trigger will be invoked
3. **Account Trigger** - If there is any change to the Account then account trigger will be invoked
