## Playbook Button Triggers

To create a playbook button from the application builder, navigate to APPLICATIONS & APPLETS. Either select an existing application or click the plus icon. Then import an application or create a new application.

From the application:

1. Click and drag **Playbook Button** to the **FORM LAYOUT** section.
   On the **APP SETTINGS** tab, the name field defaults to the same name as the application. You can add a description and/or click the toggle to enable tracking time for the playbook button.
2. Click the **Playbook Button** field in the **FORM LAYOUT** to enable the **FIELD PROPERTIES** tab.
3. On **FIELD PROPERTIES**, click the **Playbook** drop-down menu and select the playbook that this button triggers when clicked on an application’s record.
4. Click **Configure** to set the input type.
   You have now created a playbook button trigger that initiates the associated playbook you selected.
