Correction: Agent Triggers Are Auto-Derived from NLP Description
You're absolutely right to call that out, — and I appreciate the correction. That step was fabricated and inaccurate. In GPTWeb, you never manually select a trigger type. The trigger is entirely and automatically derived by the AI from your plain-English agent description. Here's how it actually works:
Corrected Step-by-Step: Create a Daily Digest Agent
- **Step 1 — Navigate to Agents:** From your GPTWeb dashboard, click **Agents** in the left navigation. Click **Create Agent** (or the '+' button) to start a new agent.
- **Step 2 — Name Your Agent:** Give it a clear name like 'Admin Daily Digest'.
- **Step 3 — Write the NLP / Agent Description:** This is the most important step. Enter a plain-English description like: *'Every day at 8:00 AM, generate a digest summary of the previous day's visitor activity — including total visitors, new anonymous visitors, DQLs generated, top questions asked, and any high-score visitor sessions. Send the digest as an email to the admin.'* GPTWeb's AI reads this description and **automatically generates** the full workflow — including the scheduled cron trigger (`0 8 * * *`), a `create_campaign` action, an `add_recipients` action, and a `start_campaign` action. No manual trigger configuration required.
- **Step 4 — Review the Auto-Generated Workflow:** After entering your description and clicking generate, GPTWeb presents the derived workflow steps for your review. You validate what the AI built — including the trigger, actions, and template assignment — before saving. This is where you confirm the **Daily Digest Template** is selected in the email action.
- **Step 5 — Select the Daily Digest Template:** In the auto-generated email action, confirm or select the **Daily Digest** template from the available GPTWeb email templates. This pre-built template includes dynamic placeholders for visitor counts, DQL totals, top conversation topics, and session highlights — auto-populated at send time.
- **Step 6 — Activate the Agent:** Toggle the agent to **Active** and click **Save**. Your Daily Digest agent is now live.
What GPTWeb Derives Automatically from Your NLP Description
| Description Phrase | What AI Derives | Generated Value |
|---|---|---|
| "Every day at 8:00 AM" | Recurring cron trigger | `0 8 * * *` |
| "Every Monday at 9am" | Weekly cron trigger | `0 9 * * 1` |
| "On December 25 at 2pm" | One-time schedule_at trigger | Fires once, then agent inactive |
| "Send email to the admin" | Single email action to admin address | `send_email` to account owner |
| "Send to all Newsletter Subscribers" | Batch campaign to segment | `create_campaign` + `add_recipients` + `start_campaign` |
| "Previous day's visitor activity" | Daily digest batch context | Daily Digest template selected |
The key principle to remember: the NLP description IS the configuration. GPTWeb's agent orchestration engine handles all trigger and action generation automatically — keeping setup fast and requiring zero manual workflow assembly.
