# Trigger Node

::: warning Legacy
This is part of the legacy Platform documentation.
:::

Every Journey in Seen's legacy Journey builder requires a Trigger Node. The Trigger Node is used to determine when the Journey should start.

The options for the Trigger Node are:

## Now

The Journey triggers when the **Execute** button is clicked.

## On Create

The Journey triggers immediately when new data is received.

You can also use your created [segments](../data/segments) in the Trigger Node, to further define the triggering logic.
