Triggers
An agent runs on a schedule, when work arrives, or when you ask. One agent can have several triggers.
The triggers#
| Trigger | Runs when |
|---|---|
| Schedule | At set times, in your time zone. Add several schedules if needed. |
| An email reaches the agent's own address. | |
| Webhook | Another app calls the agent's webhook address. |
| Slack | Someone messages the agent in Slack. |
| GitHub | Someone mentions it in a pull request or issue comment. |
| Run now | You press Run now on its page. |
You can also chat with any agent you are allowed to use, on its page.
Email#
Each agent gets its own email address, built from its short name and your workspace. You find it on the agent's page.
- Forward work to it, or copy it in, like a colleague.
- The agent's mailbox shows what it received and sent.
- By default an agent sends at most 20 emails an hour and 100 a day.
Agent email addresses may still end in wedgeai.work, the old Homla domain. That is expected.
Webhook#
Turning on the webhook gives you an address and a secret. The secret is shown once. Send it in the X-Homla-Secret header. Rotate it any time, and the old one stops at once.
Slack#
An agent can have its own Slack app, set to In Homla and Slack. Its status shows Live as @handle once installed. Approvals for its actions then appear in Slack with buttons.
Limits#
Email and webhook triggers start at most 30 runs an hour per agent by default. The daily run limit you set applies to all automatic runs. See Limits.
