In depth

Webhook triggers are how external systems (GitHub, Linear, Slack, Stripe) reach your agents. The runtime exposes a path you choose, validates the payload, and fires the agent with the body as input. Common pattern: a webhook on /hooks/github-pr that runs a triager agent for every new pull request.
