Build your first trigger

A URL that turns an outside event — form, webhook, alert — into work done by your employee.

The steps

Create the trigger — Go to **Triggers**, create one, pick the employee, and write the instruction it should run when fired. Write it like a standing order, with the variables the event will bring: > A new lead came in: {name}, {email}, {message}. Research the company, score fit from 1-5 with one line of reasoning, and put both in my Inbox.
Wire the URL to the source — The trigger gives you a webhook URL. Paste it wherever the event happens — your form tool's webhook field, a Zapier/Make step, a monitoring alert. Values posted to the URL fill the {variables} in your instruction.
Fire it once yourself — Don't wait for a real event to find out it's miswired. Send one test payload (your form's test button, or a curl with sample values) and check the run appears in your **Inbox** with the variables filled.

A test event in, a completed run in your Inbox out — the pipe works before real traffic hits it.

The payload's field names don't match your {placeholders}. Check the trigger's run log for what actually arrived and rename one side to match.
