Currently this template only has a single customEvent trigger:

import { Trigger, customEvent } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";

new Trigger({
  // Give your Trigger a stable ID
  id: "hello-world",
  name: "Template: Hello World",
  // Trigger on the custom event named "your.event", see https://docs.trigger.dev/triggers/custom-events
  on: customEvent({
    name: "your.event",
  }),
  // The run functions gets called once per "your.event" event
  async run(event, ctx) {
    await ctx.waitFor("waiting...", { seconds: 10 });

    await ctx.logger.info("Hello world from inside trigger.dev");
  },
}).listen();

📺 Go Live

Once you are happy with your workflow you can deploy it live to Render.com (or another hosting service). You can then send custom events that trigger your workflow using the sendEvent function from the @trigger.dev/sdk, or simply by making requests to our events API endpoint.

Here is an example of sending the custom event to trigger the workflow contained in this repo using fetch:

const event = {
  name: "your.event",
  payload: {
    hello: "world",
  },
};

const response = await fetch("https://app.trigger.dev/api/v1/events", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.TRIGGER_API_KEY}`,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    id: randomUUID(),
    event,
  }),
});

✍️ Customize

You can easily adapt this workflow to a different event relevant to your app. For example, we have a workflow that runs when a user is created and it looks like this:

import { Trigger, customEvent } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
import * as slack from "@trigger.dev/slack";
import { z } from "zod";

new Trigger({
  id: "new-user",
  name: "New user",
  on: customEvent({
    name: "user.created",
    schema: z.object({ id: z.string() }),
  }),
  async run(event, ctx) {
    const user = await prisma.user.find({
      where: { id: event.id },
    });

    await slack.postMessage("🚨", {
      channelName: "new-users",
      text: `New user signed up: ${user.email}`,
    });
  },
}).listen();
