When you add an action to the artboard in Blend for Visual Studio 2012, an EventTrigger is created by default. You can use any of the additional built-in triggers in Windows Phone projects for Blend by changing the trigger type. To change the trigger type, click New in the Trigger category in the Properties panel.
