Introduction
Turn any external event into an instant AI action. Send a webhook with your inputs, run the selected plugin action, and get the AI’s response back in real time. ✅
Trigger Event
A webhook is received with fields like instructions, action_name, and thread_id.
Actions
- The webhook payload is read and passed to an AI gateway.
- The gateway invokes the selected MCP-style plugin action using the provided action_name and instructions (thread_id keeps the conversation linked if you’re using threads).
- When the AI finishes, the workflow returns the AI action’s output in the response to your webhook caller.
Benefits
- Fast: Turn webhooks into AI results with one request
- Flexible: Choose which plugin action to run via action_name
- Consistent: Keep conversations or tasks organized using thread_id
- Practical: Perfect for support replies, summaries, or tool actions on demand
