# Data in Contextual

Data in Contextual is managed via [Object Types](/documentation-and-resources/components-and-data/object-types.md). Object Types include a JSON Schema definition of the properties you want to store for your records along with powerful tools for triggering processing ([Triggers](/documentation-and-resources/components-and-data/object-types/object-type-details/triggers.md)), manual or API-driven actions ([Actions](/documentation-and-resources/components-and-data/object-types/object-type-details/actions.md)), [Audit Trails](/documentation-and-resources/components-and-data/object-types/object-type-details/audit-trail.md), a complete API and more.
