Start a run from a webhook

POST
/hooks/{triggerId}/{token}
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.asklucy.eu/v1/hooks/example/example \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '"example"'

For other systems (GitHub, Zapier, Make, n8n, Power Automate, a script): POST to the trigger’s webhook_url as it is, like a Slack, Discord or Teams incoming webhook. The URL carries the token, so it needs no header and no Zitadel token. Treat it as a password: anyone who has it can start runs. Rotate it if it leaks (rotateAgentTriggerSecret). The token is never logged.

The body (at most 256 KB) is the run’s payload, read the way it was meant:

  • a body that is JSON is JSON, whatever its content type (curl -d says form-urlencoded);
  • a form (application/x-www-form-urlencoded, e.g. Slack) is an object of its fields, a list when a field repeats;
  • text/plain and any other UTF-8 text are a string.

Lucy treats the payload as data, never as instructions: the agent’s instructions decide what to do with it.

A retry with the same Idempotency-Key (or GitHub’s X-GitHub-Delivery) within 24 hours returns the first run instead of starting another.

Limits, on top of the organization’s: 60 accepted deliveries a minute per trigger, and 20 runs queued per agent.

triggerId
required
string
/^trg_[A-Za-z0-9]+$/
token
required
string
/^lwh_[A-Za-z0-9]+$/

The trigger’s token (AgentTrigger.webhook_url has it). The URL is the credential.

Idempotency-Key
string
<= 255 characters

Any unique string (a UUID works). Retries with the same key return the first result.

X-GitHub-Delivery
string
<= 255 characters

Used as the idempotency key when Idempotency-Key is absent.

Example generated

example

Accepted (or the run of an earlier delivery with the same key).

queued waits for the agent’s run in progress; skipped: a schedule fired while a run was still going, so this time didn’t run.

string
Allowed values: queued running succeeded failed cancelled skipped

Example

{

}

The request is invalid; errors lists what’s wrong.

No webhook at this URL, or it can’t run. That covers a wrong, missing or rotated-out token, an unknown trigger, a trigger or agent that is disabled or deleted, an owner who has left or may no longer use agents, and an organization with agents off. All of these answer the same.
