# [Automations guides and connectors] - Managing Triggers

This page explains how to manage triggers within an automation, specifically how to rename or delete a trigger. It is intended for users configuring or maintaining automations and should be used when updating trigger settings in an existing automation.

To rename a trigger in the automation, perform the steps given below:
- Click the trigger tab (in our case, **HTTP Request Trigger**).
- Click the edit icon visible on the trigger header to rename trigger.
- The **HTTP Request Trigger** field becomes editable. Update the name as required and click the “✔” check mark.

## Delete a Trigger

To delete a trigger in the automation, perform the steps given below:
- Click the trigger tab (in our case, **HTTP Request Trigger**).
- Click the delete icon visible on the trigger header to delete the trigger.
- Confirm your action by clicking **Delete** again.
- You can also delete the trigger from the configured trigger as shown below:

This will remove the trigger from the **automations** configuration page.

## Common questions

### Can I rename any trigger type, or only HTTP Request Trigger?
You can rename a trigger by selecting its trigger tab and using the edit icon on the trigger header.

### What happens after I delete a trigger?
Deleting a trigger removes the trigger from the **automations** configuration page.

### Is there more than one way to delete a trigger?
Yes. You can delete the trigger from the trigger tab header, and you can also delete the trigger from the configured trigger.
