Generally, these event triggers are customized and can be configured via a profile as desired. The purpose is to provide the option to connect a specific IO activity to a particular event or button. ## Trigger 'limitations' ### Custom\_IO This trigger can be compared with its equivalent in FX - [Custom\_FX](/helmut4-releases/v4.11.0/helmut4-components/helmutfx/streams/fx-event-triggers/custom_fx.md). It can be used within Premiere Pro / After Effects from the[ Helmut Panel](/helmut4-releases/v4.11.0/helmut4-components/helmut4-panel/panel-dashboard.md).
