Triggers

Triggers start AI workers from a fixed time, weekday, date, or external event. Configure schedule triggers and Composio-compatible event triggers from the AI worker's Triggers screen. Slack DMs, mentions, and channel posts are configured from Inbound Channels, not Triggers.

Overview

Automatically run AI workers from schedules or events.

Basics

Start condition

For schedules, choose quick setup, recurring, one-time, or advanced cron. Use it for daily, weekly, monthly, and one-off runs. Always confirm timezone, because a wrong timezone makes the worker run at the wrong time.

Run content

Design whether the trigger should send a normal prompt to the AI worker or start a workflow skill. In the creation dialog, choose agent_prompt or workflow_skill; for a normal prompt, set the prompt body and model, and for a workflow skill, choose the target skill. For recurring work, specify the target period, knowledge to reference, output format, and notification destination.

Notifications

Choose whether to notify on all runs, failures only, or never. Destinations can include email, Slack, Discord, and LINE WORKS, using account defaults or trigger-specific overrides. Human review is recommended before high-impact external sends or updates.

When it fails

For event-based triggers, check the app, event type, connection profile, and event variables. When a trigger fails, review the start condition, worker instructions, integration permissions, assigned knowledge, and notification destination. Manually running the same instruction is often the fastest way to isolate the issue.

Checklist

  1. Confirm frequency, weekday, time, and timezone.
  2. Confirm the selected worker, prompt, and notification destination.
  3. Run the same work manually before enabling automation.
