# INTemporalEventTrigger

A trigger condition based on a date or time.

```
class INTemporalEventTrigger
```

## Overview

When configuring tasks, you can add an [`INTemporalEventTrigger`](/documentation/Intents/INTemporalEventTrigger) object to display a reminder at a specific time. Because you specify the time values using an [`INDateComponentsRange`](/documentation/Intents/INDateComponentsRange) object, the trigger condition can occur at a single time or within a range of time. You can also specify a repeating trigger time by specifying a day without a month or year or by specifying a time value without a specific day.

## Topics

### Initializing an Event Trigger

[`init(dateComponentsRange: INDateComponentsRange)`](/documentation/Intents/INTemporalEventTrigger/init(dateComponentsRange:))

Initializes the event trigger with the specified date information.

### Getting the Trigger Condition

[`var dateComponentsRange: INDateComponentsRange`](/documentation/Intents/INTemporalEventTrigger/dateComponentsRange)

The triggering time range for an event.

### Initializers
