Fueling AI: How Events Activate Agentic Workflows

Automate Workflow Initiation: Effortlessly start your Agentic workflows based on real-time events.

In the world of automation, timing is everything. The ability to react instantly to changes and trigger the right processes at the right moment is crucial for efficiency and responsiveness. This is where event-driven automation shines, and Triggers.do is at the forefront of making this a reality for modern, Agentic workflows.

Think about your business processes. Many rely on a cascade of actions initiated by a specific event – a new order, a customer inquiry, a system alert, or even a change in a third-party service. Traditionally, setting up these triggers could be complex and require custom development for each use case.

Triggers.do simplifies this by providing a comprehensive platform for defining and managing event triggers. It acts as the central hub where incoming events are processed, filtered, and routed to initiate the appropriate business process automation.

What is Event-Based Workflow Automation with Triggers.do?

At its core, Triggers.do enables you to connect real-world events to automated workflows. It's about moving beyond scheduled tasks and building systems that react dynamically to what's happening now.

Here's how it works:

1. Define your Trigger: You specify the type of event you're interested in (e.g., order.created, support.ticket.updated), the source of that event (e.g., ecommerce-platform, crm-system), and any specific criteria or filter you want to apply.
2. Listen for Events: Triggers.do constantly monitors for incoming events from various sources you've integrated with.
3. Process and Filter: When an event arrives, Triggers.do evaluates it against your defined triggers and applies any specified filters (e.g., only trigger for orders over $100).
4. Initiate Workflows: If an event matches a trigger and passes the filter, Triggers.do initiates the associated workflow or process.

This process is fundamental for power Agentic workflows, which are designed to be intelligent and autonomous. By providing real-time event data, Triggers.do gives these intelligent agents the context and stimulus they need to make decisions and take action.

import { Trigger } from 'triggers.do';

const newOrderTrigger = new Trigger({
  name: 'New Order Created',
  description: 'Triggers when a new order is created in the system',
  event: 'order.created',
  source: 'ecommerce-platform',
  filter: {
    condition: 'amount > 100',
    priority: 'high'
  },
  handler: async (event) => {
    // Process the event and start workflows
    return {
      workflowId: 'order-processing',
      data: event.data
    };
  }
});

This simple code snippet illustrates the power and ease of use. You define a Trigger with a name, description, the event it listens for, the source of the event, and an optional filter. The handler function is where you define what happens when the trigger is activated – in this case, returning information to initiate an 'order-processing' workflow.

Why is Event-Based Automation Essential for Agentic Workflows?

Agentic workflows are designed to be more flexible and responsive than traditional process automation. They often involve AI-powered agents that can interpret data, make decisions, and adapt to changing circumstances. For these agents to be effective, they need to be activated at the right time and with the right information.

Triggers.do provides the crucial link between real-world occurrences and the activation of these intelligent workflows. Without timely event triggers, Agentic workflows would either need to constantly poll for changes (inefficient) or rely on manual initiation (defeating the purpose of automation).

By leveraging Triggers.do, you enable:

• Real-time Responsiveness: React instantly to critical events, improving customer experience and operational efficiency.
• Contextual Awareness: Provide Agentic workflows with the specific event data they need to make informed decisions.
• Scalability: Easily define and manage numerous triggers and workflows as your business grows.
• Reduced Development Time: Eliminate the need for complex custom coding to handle event-based initiation.

Integration and the .do Platform

Integrating with Triggers.do is designed to be straightforward, offering simple APIs and SDKs to connect your applications and data sources.

Furthermore, Triggers.do is an integral part of the .do platform, an AI-powered Agentic Workflow Platform. This means that Triggers.do seamlessly integrates with other components of the .do platform, allowing you to build sophisticated Business-as-Code solutions where events trigger intelligent, automated processes.
