### Add Trigger Logic

### Implement Trigger in Inference Stream

* Ensure that the tags specified in the evaluators' triggers are included when you stream your inference data.
* Follow the full [API documentation](https://app.ownlayer.com/docs#tag/inferences) for detailed instructions on how to implement triggers in your inference stream.
