# Introduction

> What Triggr Studio is, how it differs from Triggr Core, and where to start.

Triggr Studio, at [app.triggr-app.com](https://app.triggr-app.com), is where you build your own automations: forms, workflows across every tool you connect (including clients' on-premises networks) and internal apps. [Triggr Core](/core/introduction) is the ready-made Microsoft 365 catalogue; Studio covers everything beyond it. Both share one sign-in, and the same clients and team.
