# Triggering Journeys Based on Events

You can trigger journeys based on an event that happens in the site, like when members join.

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small "><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Professional</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong> editions.</td></tr></tbody></table>

For an event to trigger a journey, the object that the event happens to must be workflow-enabled. Most standard objects in Salesforce (such accounts, leads, case, and opportunity), all custom objects, and many community-specific objects are workflow enabled. Some site-specific objects, however, aren’t.

Note As a best practice, create sample journeys to make sure that the objects you want to use can trigger a journey and the data is accessible.
