Triggers: jobs the agent does by itself

Have the agent run a task on a schedule, every few minutes, or when another system calls its URL.

A trigger makes the agent do a job by itself, with its tools. Nobody is on the other end: it writes a short report of what it did.

• Every weekday at 9:00: send yesterday's new leads to the sales Slack channel.
• When a Shopify order arrives (webhook): thank the customer on WhatsApp and tell them the delivery date.
• Every hour: check the support inbox for tickets older than a day and post a reminder.

1. Open the agent and go to Triggers. Click Add trigger.
2. Choose when: at set times on chosen days, every few minutes, or when another system sends data (you get a URL to POST JSON to).
3. Write what the agent should do, in plain words.
4. Save. Use Run to try it now; the last run and its report show on the trigger.

Each run is charged like a conversation.
