Triggers

Triggers are a powerful feature in Playbooks AI that enable declarative event-driven programming through natural language conditions. They allow playbooks to be dynamically invoked when specified conditions are met.

What are Triggers?

Triggers are conditions written in natural language that, when met, cause a playbook to be executed. They enable reactive and event-driven behavior in your AI agents.

Benefits of Triggers

Triggers provide several advantages:

  • Reactive Programming: Build systems that respond to events without polling
  • Separation of Concerns: Organize code around events rather than control flow
  • Natural Language Expressiveness: Specify complex conditions in plain language
  • Reduced Complexity: Avoid complex if-else chains and state management
  • Event-Driven Architecture: Create loosely coupled components that interact through events
