# Events and transitions

> Macro (excerpt)

> Events can be used to transition states using triggers

A workflow editor can add one or more workflow triggers to listen for an event, and when the event occurs, transition the state. The following events are related to state changes and content changes and can be used in a trigger with a [set-state macro](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649727251) to transition a state. 

This use of workflow events to transition a workflow state can help in creating a more responsive workflow, including workflow events related to transitions
