What is lindy-core-workflow-b?

This Claude skill facilitates the seamless automation and scheduling of AI agents, enabling the creation of sophisticated, trigger-based workflows. It solves the challenge of manual agent management by providing robust support for cron-based scheduling, webhook integrations, and email-driven triggers, ensuring that agentic tasks are executed autonomously and reliably across various platforms.

When should I use lindy-core-workflow-b?

lindy-core-workflow-b is useful in the following scenarios: • Scheduled Business Intelligence: Automate daily data collection and reporting by scheduling agents to run at specific times using cron expressions. • Event-Driven Webhook Workflows: Trigger agent actions in real-time based on external events from third-party applications like CRMs, GitHub, or payment processors. • Automated Email Processing: Set up dedicated email triggers to automatically ingest, analyze, and respond to incoming customer inquiries or support tickets. • Multi-Trigger Task Orchestration: Combine multiple automation methods to manage complex, end-to-end business processes that require both periodic checks and immediate event responses.

Lindy Core Workflow B: Task Automation

Overview

Complete workflow for automating tasks and scheduling Lindy AI agents.

Prerequisites

Completed lindy-core-workflow-a (agent creation)
Agent ID ready for automation
Clear automation requirements defined

Instructions

Step 1: Define Automation Spec

interface AutomationSpec {
  agentId: string;
  trigger: 'schedule' | 'webhook' | 'email' | 'event';
  schedule?: string; // cron expression
  webhookPath?: string;
  emailTrigger?: string;
  eventType?: string;
}

const automationSpec: AutomationSpec = {
  agentId: 'agt_abc123',
  trigger: 'schedule',
  schedule: '0 9 * * *', // Daily at 9 AM
};

Step 2: Create Scheduled Automation

import { Lindy } from '@lindy-ai/sdk';

const lindy = new Lindy({ apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY });

async function createScheduledAutomation(spec: AutomationSpec) {
  const automation = await lindy.automations.create({
    agentId: spec.agentId,
    type: 'schedule',
    config: {
      cron: spec.schedule,
      timezone: 'America/New_York',
      input: 'Run daily morning tasks',
    },
  });

  console.log(`Created automation: ${automation.id}`);
  return automation;
}

Step 3: Create Webhook Trigger

async function createWebhookAutomation(agentId: string, path: string) {
  const automation = await lindy.automations.create({
    agentId,
    type: 'webhook',
    config: {
      path: path,
      method: 'POST',
      inputMapping: {
        input: '{{body.message}}',
        context: '{{body.context}}',
      },
    },
  });

  console.log(`Webhook URL: ${automation.webhookUrl}`);
  return automation;
}

Step 4: Create Email Trigger

async function createEmailAutomation(agentId: string, triggerEmail: string) {
  const automation = await lindy.automations.create({
    agentId,
    type: 'email',
    config: {
      triggerAddress: triggerEmail,
      inputMapping: {
        input: '{{email.body}}',
        sender: '{{email.from}}',
        subject: '{{email.subject}}',
      },
    },
  });

  console.log(`Forward emails to: ${automation.triggerEmail}`);
  return automation;
}

Output

Configured automation triggers
Scheduled or event-based agent runs
Webhook endpoints for external triggers
Email triggers for inbox automation

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
Invalid cron	Bad schedule format	Use standard cron syntax
Webhook conflict	Path already used	Choose unique webhook path
Agent not found	Invalid agent ID	Verify agent exists

Examples

Multi-Trigger Setup

async function setupAutomations(agentId: string) {
  // Daily summary at 9 AM
  await lindy.automations.create({
    agentId,
    type: 'schedule',
    config: { cron: '0 9 * * *', input: 'Generate daily summary' },
  });

  // Webhook for external events
  await lindy.automations.create({
    agentId,
    type: 'webhook',
    config: { path: '/events', method: 'POST' },
  });

  // Email trigger for support
  await lindy.automations.create({
    agentId,
    type: 'email',
    config: { triggerAddress: 'support@mycompany.com' },
  });
}
