SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Trigger-based orchestration reduces memory burden and coordination overhead by turning follow-ups into programmable wake-up events that can bind to objectives and drive automated actions across systems and channels.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Schedule reminders with cron, once, or interval to wake up at a chosen time.
  • Wait for replies or external events using on_message, webhook, or poll triggers.
  • Bind triggers to objectives, manage lifecycle (propose_objective, complete_objective), and prevent duplicates with list_triggers.
  • Channel-aware delivery and cross-channel coordination to ensure results go to the correct audience.

Quick Start

Propose an objective and create a trigger with a desired wake policy to begin automated follow-ups.

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule a cron trigger for automated reminders?

You can schedule reminders by binding a trigger to an objective and setting a cron wake policy. This creates a programmable wake-up event that drives automated follow-up actions at your specified time intervals.

What is trigger-based orchestration for objective binding?

Trigger-based orchestration binds wake-up events to objectives using a valid trigger class and context. This reduces memory burden and coordination overhead by programmatically driving automated follow-up actions across systems and channels.

Can I use a webhook trigger to wait for external events across channels?

Yes, webhook triggers wait for external events and replies across channels. The system enforces channel-aware delivery and cross-channel coordination to ensure automated results reach the correct audience.

How do I prevent duplicate triggers when polling for changes?

You prevent duplicate triggers by calling the list triggers function before creating new ones. This verifies existing poll triggers and ensures proper objective lifecycle management without overlapping wake-up policies.

Does trigger management support interval and one-time wake policies?

Yes, trigger management enforces explicit wake policy types including interval, once, cron, poll, and webhook. You select a valid policy type and bind it to your objective using a proper trigger class and context.

What are the limitations of using a poll trigger for waiting on replies?

Using a poll trigger for replies requires explicit objective binding and a valid trigger class. You must manage the objective lifecycle and configure channel-aware delivery to prevent missed wake-up events across systems.
