## Overview

This topic explains how to use LaunchDarkly's triggers feature with Honeycomb. For example, you can create an alert in Honeycomb that uses a trigger to toggle a flag's targeting on or off if a performance metric drops below a certain threshold.

To learn more about how Honeycomb uses triggers, read [Honeycomb's documentation](https://docs.honeycomb.io/working-with-your-data/triggers/).

## Prerequisites

In order to complete this topic, you must meet the following prerequisites.

* You must have a feature flag with a trigger. To learn more about creating triggers, read [Creating flag triggers](/home/releases/triggers-create).
* You must have access to the trigger's URL, which you copied and saved during the trigger creation process. To learn more, read [Triggers](/home/releases/triggers).
* You must have an existing [Honeycomb](https://www.honeycomb.io/) account.

## Connect a flag trigger to Honeycomb

<Warning title="Honeycomb triggers and LaunchDarkly triggers are two different terms">
  Honeycomb uses similar nomenclature to LaunchDarkly when describing actions controlled by webhooks and third-party tools. However, a trigger in Honeycomb is not synonymous as a trigger in LaunchDarkly.

  In this topic, we distinguish between the two triggers with the labels "Honeycomb trigger" and "LaunchDarkly trigger."
</Warning>

To connect a LaunchDarkly trigger to your Honeycomb account, you must perform two actions:

1. Create an integration in Honeycomb that includes your LaunchDarkly trigger, and
2. Make a Honeycomb trigger based on configuration you specify that uses the LaunchDarkly trigger to perform flag actions.

Both actions are documented below.

### Create an integration in Honeycomb

1. Log into Honeycomb.
2. Click your username, and then click **Team settings**.
3. Click into the **Integrations** tab.
4. In the "Trigger Recipients" section, click **Add integration**.
5. In the "Provider" section, choose "Webhook" as the type of integration you want to configure.
6. Give your webhook a human-readable **Name**.
7. Paste the LaunchDarkly trigger URL into the **Webhook URL** field.
8. Enter any text into the **Shared secret** field.
9. Click **Add.**

### Make a Honeycomb trigger and associate it with the integration

Now you must associate the integration you created with a Honeycomb trigger.

1. Navigate to the query you want to connect to a LaunchDarkly trigger.
2. Click the **overflow menu**.
3. Choose "Make trigger."
4. Give your trigger a human-readable **Name**.
5. Make any configuration you need until you get to the "Recipients" section.
6. In the "Recipients" section, click **Add Recipient** and choose "Webhook -- \[Your webhook's name]" from the menu.
7. Verify your information and click **Add**.
8. Click **Create trigger**.

Now alerts in your Honeycomb account will trigger feature flags in LaunchDarkly.
