You use the inserted and deleted tables. It’s inserted if just the inserted table is populated, deleted if just the deleted table is populated, and updated if both tables are populated. Use if exists (select 1 from inserted) to test.

if exists (select 1 from inserted) and exists (select 1 from deleted)
--update
else if exists (select 1 from inserted)
--insert
else if exists (select 1 from deleted)
--delete
