Remote Trigger
A cloud endpoint that activates a Knowledge OS agent from external events, enabling scheduled execution and webhook-driven workflows.
Remote triggers are the activation mechanism for autonomous agents. Each trigger is a cloud endpoint (hosted on Pipedream or similar) that accepts an HTTP request and invokes a specific Claude Code agent with predefined parameters. Three production triggers run today: a daily chief-of-staff briefing, a weekly repo audit, and a Wednesday newsletter scraper-plus-generation pipeline. Triggers can be activated by cron schedules, webhooks (e.g., CRM deal stage change), or manual HTTP calls. The trigger passes environment variables and execution context to the agent, which then runs its skill chain autonomously.
