# List trigger types

> Returns the trigger types available to the caller across all applications (or one, when
applicationSlug is supplied), honoring the optional search filter and pagination. A
trigger type whose connector cannot currently be subscribed to (no lifecycle workflows to
back a realtime subscription) is omitted rather than listed with a broken contract - see
GET .../triggers/types/{triggerSlug} for the corresponding 404.

        Field names are pinned via JsonPropertyAttribute to the Composio-parity

        snake_case wire contract (trigger_slug, application_slug) rather than
        the project's usual

        camelCase resolver - see

             Engini gives you). Always one of those three - a trigger type whose connector cannot
             currently back a realtime subscription is left out of the catalog rather than listed
             with a fourth value.
