# Postgres Trigger node

Use the Postgres Trigger node to respond to events in [Postgres](https://www.postgresql.org/) and integrate Postgres with other applications. n8n has built-in support responding to insert, update, and delete events.

```{note} Credentials
You can find authentication information for this node [here](/08-0-0-Workflow/integrations/builtin/credentials/postgres.md).
```

```{note} Examples and templates
For usage examples and templates to help you get started, refer to n8n's [Postgres Trigger integrations](https://n8n.io/integrations/postgres-trigger/) page.
```

## Events

You can configure how the node listens for events.

* Select **Listen and Create Trigger Rule**, then choose the events to listen for:
	* Insert
	* Update
	* Delete
* Select **Listen to Channel**, then enter a channel name that the node should monitor.
