# Accessing peformance trigger event information

After a performance trigger executes, you have the option to access the event data through the **Actions** block of the **Trigger Scope** activity, by defining an argument in the **ProcessPerformanceTriggerArgs** field.

## Performance trigger arguments

This type of argument helps you access the trigger event data, as it has three predefined methods:

* `.TriggerName` - returns the trigger name, the one set in the **DisplayName** field;
* `.TriggerType` - returns the desktop trigger type, which in this case is `UiPath.DesktopTriggers.Activities.ProcessPerformanceTrigger`;
* `.result` - returns a JSON strings which displays the event information, such as resource consumption percentages, computer ID, or monitoring starting time. See [Interpreting the performance trigger event result](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/it-automation/interpreting-the-trigger-event-result) for more details.

## Accessing the trigger event data

1. In the **Actions** block, set a name for the trigger argument in the **ProcessPerformanceTriggerArgs** field. For example, "args".
2. To retrieve the trigger type, apply the `TriggerType` method to the previously defined argument in an activity of your choice. For example, `args.TriggerType`.
3. To retrieve the trigger name, apply the `TriggerName` method to the previously defined argument in an activity of your choice. For example, `args.TriggerName`.
4. To retrieve the complete trigger event information, apply the `result` method to the previously defined argument in an activity of your choice. For example, `args.result`.
