Triggered Agents by Adaptive

Triggered Agents by Adaptive is a feature that turns outside events into AI work, without you sitting there to kick it off. It's what people mean by adaptive.ai triggered agents. You pick a source that emits events, write down what should happen when one fires, and Adaptive spawns an agent to handle it. The agent reads the incoming event data, follows your instructions, and can reach into any tool you've linked to Adaptive.

The point is closing the gap between "something happened" and "someone did something about it." A new Shopify order, a Stripe payment, a GitHub issue, a Calendly booking, or a form submission all become starting guns. Instead of a person noticing and reacting, the agent reacts and reports back. No more racing to catch up.

The main limitation is scope. This isn't a standalone product you buy on its own. It lives inside the broader Adaptive platform, so you need an Adaptive account and connected tools to use it. Its reach is also bound by whichever services you've wired up and by your plan's usage allowance. Heavier tasks burn more usage than a quick reply. That matters if you're running event-driven AI agents on a busy trigger.

Getting Started

1. Create an Adaptive account and connect the tools you want agents to work with, such as Slack, Notion, or Google Sheets.
2. Pick a trigger source that supports webhooks, including Calendly, Stripe, Shopify, GitHub, Typeform, or a custom webhook.
3. Describe the outcome in plain language, for example: "When a new Shopify order comes in, check inventory and email the supplier if we need to restock."
4. Let Adaptive fill any gaps, since it asks you for missing details like your supplier list if it doesn't already have them.
5. Review the agent's output and adjust your instructions as you see what it does in practice.
