# Triggers

The Triggers tab shows how your agent is reached and when it runs automatically. It is the place to verify your agent's contact addresses and check that scheduled runs are configured correctly.

## Three sections

### Email

Your agent has two email addresses:

| Address                                               | When to use it                                                                              |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Workspace** address (`projectid-dev@agent.riff.ai`) | For testing — send here during development to trigger the development version of your agent |
| **Deployed** address (`projectid@agent.riff.ai`)      | For production — the address external systems and real users send to                        |

Click the copy button next to either address to copy it to your clipboard.

When an email arrives, your agent receives it as a message and responds just as it would to a chat message. You can forward real emails here, connect your inbox via a rule, or give the address to a supplier or system directly.

### Scheduled runs

Lists every scheduled trigger configured for this agent. Each entry shows:

* **Schedule name** and **status** (enabled or paused)
* **When it runs** — a plain-language description (e.g. "Every day at 9:00 AM")
* **Last run** timestamp (when available)

To create a schedule, tell the Riff agent in the Chat tab what you want — for example: "Run every morning at 7am and check for any open POs that haven't had a supplier confirmation in 48 hours."

### Webhooks

Coming soon.

## What Triggers does not do

You cannot edit or delete schedules from this tab — use the Chat tab to ask the Riff agent to make changes. Triggers is a read-only view of what is configured.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.riff.ai/reference/agent-builder/triggers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
