# Trigger

> Configure when and how the form opens on your website.

Found under **Settings → Trigger** in the **Website** section.

<Note>For **Inline** display mode, the form renders immediately — no trigger settings apply. Switch to Popup, Slider, Popover, or Side Tab in [Website Layout](/form-builder/settings/website-layout) for these options.</Note>

## Auto-Open

| Setting                            | Description                                                                         |
| ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Auto-open**                      | Automatically open the form                                                         |
| **Delay** (optional)               | Seconds to wait before opening. Only visible when Auto-open is enabled.             |
| **Suppress for X days** (optional) | Days to suppress auto-open after dismissal. Only visible when Auto-open is enabled. |

## Custom Trigger Element

Make any element on your page open the form instead of the built-in trigger button.

Enter a **CSS selector**:

```
.my-quiz-button      → Class selector
#start-quiz           → ID selector
[data-quiz-trigger]   → Data attribute
```

<Tip>Works with dynamically loaded elements — Kinetic watches for matching elements for up to 30 seconds.</Tip>

## Post-Submission Behavior

| Setting                        | Description                                              |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Hide form after submission** | Never show the form again after the visitor completes it |
