Trigger AI Agents with webhooks
One thing is getting AI Agents to keep you updated on a weekly or a daily basis - another thing is getting them to help you in real time.
What is webhooks?
Webhooks is how different web applications talk to each other.
Eg a support system can send be set up to send a message to a webhook in another system each time a user sends a new message in chat.
Webhooks is how different applications send messages to each other.
AI Agntes can both receive and send webhooks
AI Agents in UpdateMate can now both receive and send messages with webhooks.
- AI Agents can be triggered to run by selecting their "schedudle" to be webhook. That gives you a unique webhook URL for that agent you can insert into whatever platform you want to.
- AI Agents can send their outout to any webhook and you can ask the AI agent for format its resonse as you like being it plain text, JSON, XML etc.
This way agents can act as middleware that allows you to analyse data in real-time as it happens.
Get alerted in real-time
The most common usecase is real-time alert. When X happens alert Y.
This could be an alert when customers are really angry in support that gets triggered and send a ping to a slack channel so everyone can be ready to help them.
