Get started with Activator
There are several different ways to create a Fabric Activator activator. This article teaches you how to create an activator from the left navigation bar (navbar).
Create an Activator item
In Microsoft Fabric, select Activator from the workload switcher in the bottom left corner.
As with all Fabric workloads, you can begin using Activator by creating an item in a Fabric workspace. Activator’s items are called activators.
An activator holds all the information necessary to connect to data, monitor for conditions, and act. You typically create an activator for each business process or area you monitor.
Select a workplace to make it active.
From the left navbar, select Create.
From the New menu in the workspace, choose Activator.
From here, you can start adding data to your activator or you can use our Package delivery sample to get familiar with Activator. The Activator tutorial](activator-tutorial.md) uses the sample to teach you how to create and use rules on objects in your live data.
Once you create an activator, populate it with data. Learn how to get data into your activator from these two articles:
Alternatively, if you just want to learn how to use Activator using sample data, try the Activator tutorial using sample data.
