Is this only for animations?
No, you can use WP Interactions to build animations, but it has a lot of use cases. Imagine that if you have a very long form, you can use the different actions and starting state of your form elements and turn it into a multi-part form (it still might depend on the form plugin if this is possible)
What is a Trigger and Action?
A Trigger is an event that sets off an action or a series of actions that you can play.
Some examples of triggers can be a click, hover, page scroll, page state, etc.
