Answer 1

Find your DOM element, then call the click method:

document.getElementById("myButton").click(); 

Answer 2

There can be various number of ways

<button class="popup-trigger" onclick="myFunction()" data-modal="modal-1"> </button>
<script>
function myFunction(){
 //do something here
}
</script>

Secondly using jQuery

<button id="my-btn" class="popup-trigger" data-modal="modal-1"> </button>
<script>
$("#my-btn").click(function(){
 //do something here
 })
</script>
