Building sophisticated AI applications often involves orchestrating a series of actions or workflows. These "agentic workflows" come to life when triggered by specific events. But how do you reliably initiate these complex sequences from your application or an external service? That's where trigger.do comes in.
trigger.do provides a simple yet powerful mechanism to activate workflows, actions, or any process within your .do environment via a straightforward API call. Think of it as the command center that kicks off your automated processes, making your AI applications proactive and responsive.
Let's explore five ways trigger.do can significantly enhance efficiency in your AI applications:
Agentic workflows are designed to handle tasks automatically based on defined logic. These workflows often need to be triggered by specific occurrences – a new user registration, an email arrival, a sensor reading, or a scheduled time. With trigger.do, you can configure your external systems or applications to make a simple API call, effectively instantly activating the appropriate workflow.
This eliminates manual intervention and allows your AI to react in real-time to incoming events, leading to faster response times and improved operational efficiency.
Your AI applications likely interact with a variety of external services, databases, or platforms. Integrating these systems to initiate actions within your .do environment can be complex. trigger.do simplifies this by offering a universal API endpoint. Any system capable of making an HTTP request can leverage trigger.do to initiate workflows and actions within your .do platform.
This bridges the gap between your existing infrastructure and your AI capabilities, allowing for seamless data flow and process automation.
Many workflows require context to execute effectively. For example, a "process order" workflow needs details like the order ID, customer information, and items purchased. trigger.do allows you to pass custom data payloads with each API call. This means the triggered workflow receives all the necessary information to complete its task without needing to query external sources repeatedly.
This rich data transfer ensures your workflows are well-informed and can operate autonomously, reducing the burden on other parts of your application.
trigger.do is a fundamental building block for creating event-driven architectures. By defining specific endpoints for different event types, you can decouple your application components. One part of your system simply triggers an event via trigger.do, and the corresponding workflow in your .do environment handles the rest.
This modular approach makes your AI applications more scalable, resilient, and easier to maintain as components are loosely coupled and react independently to events.
Developing and testing complex workflows can be challenging. trigger.do simplifies this process by allowing you to manually trigger specific workflows or actions with controlled data payloads during development. This provides a consistent and repeatable way to test different scenarios and ensure your workflows behave as expected before deploying them to production.
This streamlined testing process accelerates your development cycle and improves the overall quality of your AI applications.

Here's a quick example of how you might use the @do/sdk to trigger a workflow:
import { Do } from "@do/sdk";
const doClient = new Do({
apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY"
});
async function triggerWorkflow() {
try {
const result = await doClient.trigger(
"your-workflow-id",
{
payload: {
"user_id": "abc123",
"event_type": "user_registered"
}
}
);
console.log("Trigger successful:", result);
} catch (error) {
console.error("Failed to trigger workflow:", error);
}
}
triggerWorkflow();
This simple code snippet demonstrates how you can initiate a workflow and pass relevant data to it.
What is trigger.do?
trigger.do allows you to initiate any process, workflow, or action defined within your .do environment by making a simple API call.
Can I pass data when triggering an event?
Yes, you can pass custom data payloads with your trigger calls to provide context and information for the initiated workflow or action.
How do I find the ID of the workflow or action I want to trigger?
You can find your unique workflow or action IDs within the .do platform interface.
