Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Current naming of triggers is a bit confusing.

Updated design: https://www.figma.com/file/HLtKaKHctLldivPnzQ7BqQOI/Composer-MI---lotsotings?node-id=2108%3A13658

(also addresses other issues with usability/discoverability for Trigger types but I cannot find that).

Need more clarification and also need to address the RecognizerSet as well .

@mareekuh FYI. You might have already found this in the trigger menu:

I think the first trigger type in the Message events drop-down menu should be Message received. What is shown now is

Message events
-> Message events
-> Message deleted
-> Message reaction
-> Message updated

What it is supposed to be:

Message events
-> Message received
-> Message deleted
-> Message reaction
-> Message updated

Thanks.

Yes : Message received vs Message Events
The dropdown should not have the word 'events' in it, per our discussion.
Trigger type: Language understanding/Dialog/Message/Other activities/Custom. Yes?

Hey @mareekuh
I agree that the word 'events' should be removed from some of the drop-down menus.
However, I also think it might be helpful to keep 'events' in the first-level menu. Thanks to @boydc2014 who explained "events" and "triggers" to me so that I have a better understanding of the two terms.

Here are my rough thoughts:

What initiates the trigger?
-> Recognizer events
-> Dialog events
-> Message activity events
-> Other activity events
-> Custom event

The major reason to include events in the first-level menu is that it might help users to understand that triggers are created to react to some type of events.

Thanks.

[mareekuh]

No I'd like to leave out the word event.
Select a trigger type:
Intent _(the 2nd field should show all existing intents and 'create new' at the top)_
Not recognized intent _(2nd field is empty)_
Dialog trigger
Message activity
Other activity
Custom trigger

@mareekuh It looks good! Just one thing, can we add the word "trigger" to each of them? I feel it's more consistent. But this will bring another issue, some trigger names may be too long.

[mareekuh]

We can use 'trigger' in the first menu, but don't need it again in the 2nd.

[zxyanliu]

Yes, I agree. No need to duplicate in the 2nd level menu.
