Triggers & Events

Webhook

Use when: An external system should call Auteryn when something happens.

When you create a webhook trigger, Auteryn gives you a unique URL:

https://hooks.auteryn.ai/v1/flows/{flow-id}/webhook

Configure your external service to POST to this URL on the relevant event.

Security: Every webhook URL has a secret for request verification. Set the secret in the external service — Auteryn rejects requests with invalid signatures.

GitHub Events

Trigger directly from GitHub events without manual webhook setup:

• issue.opened — new issue created
• issue.labeled — issue labeled
• pull_request.opened — new PR opened
• pull_request.review_requested — review requested
• workflow_run.completed — CI run finished

Setup:

1. Select trigger type GitHub Event
2. Choose the event type and repository
3. Save and enable

Slack Message

Fire a flow when a message is sent in a Slack channel:

1. Select trigger type Slack Message
2. Choose the channel to monitor
3. Optionally filter by keyword

Only fires when the message contains the specified keyword.

Email

Trigger a flow when an email arrives in a connected Gmail inbox:

1. Select trigger type Email
2. Choose the Gmail account
3. Set filters: sender email, subject contains, label

Scheduled

Run your agent on a timetable. See Scheduling →.

Manual

A Manual trigger flow only runs when you click Run Now from the Console or call the trigger API endpoint.

Useful for on-demand reports, testing, or workflows that need a human approval step before execution.
