Your AI agents can now be triggered by webhooks from services like Stripe, GitHub, Slack, Shopify, Supabase, ElevenLabs and Resend.
@jacksbridger built an agent which drafts a reply to every Resend email and waits for your OK in Slack.
Here are 7 ideas for agents you can build with Trigger webhooks👇

We (finally) upgraded to Zod 4.5 (from 3.x!) and our worker CPU demand plummeted, our batch throughput increased by 14% and our task trigger p99 dropped by 18%.
Aaaand in unrelated news… We're now the platinum sponsor for Zod!
Zod is one of those bits that we use and love and rely on every day and that's why we wanted to support the work @colinhacks is doing.

This was a really fun conversation with @arena about building agents, the infrastructure around them, and what LLMs our customers are using. It's changing fast.
Arena Conversations: @petergostev sat down with @mattaitken, founder and CEO of @triggerdotdev, to discuss building infrastructure for long-running agents, including retries, API reliability, and why customers are switching frontier models faster than ever.

chat.agent is live on Product Hunt today (hunted by @fmerian)
It's our durable backend for AI chat apps. Every conversation gets its own machine that lives for the whole conversation, sleeps when nobody's typing, and wakes up where it left off.

We spent the last 6 months building our take on a chat agent SDK. It’s open source and uses the stateful compute that powers our existing tasks and workflows.
