I’m working on a project, and I’m trying to make it so that whenever I insert a record into a certain table, a new record is created in another table with information about the first one. Is there a way to do this with triggers?

Yes. Use beforeInsert() or afterInsert()

They work similar to the beforeSave() trigger except they only operate on insert.
