This feature is exclusive to PLATINUM accounts. If you are a BASIC or PREMIUM user and wish to avail this feature, please upgrade your account.

Triggers automatically activate a specific action at the right time. On Calaméo, you have the choice of three key moments to trigger an action: at the publication opening, at the download, or at the publication's printing.
