Setting up a Trigger
- Navigate to the Agents page and select the agent you want to configure
- In the sidebar on the left, click Triggers
- Click the Add trigger button
- Choose from the available trigger types — integration triggers, scheduled triggers, or build-your-own options like webhooks, SDK, API, or Tools
- Follow the configuration steps for your chosen trigger type
- Once configured, your trigger will appear in the Triggers section of your agent
You can add multiple triggers to a single agent. Each trigger operates independently, so your agent can respond to emails, run on a schedule, and accept API requests all at the same time.
