Agent Trigger

An agent trigger is an event or command that starts an automated AI action, such as updating content or checking a project.

Agent triggers can be manual, scheduled, or connected to outside systems. In a website workflow, a trigger might start a content import, run a QA pass, or ask an agent to update CMS entries after source data changes.
