Inbound Requests

Handling workflow requests from external sources

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Workflow requests may be received by a thunk in different ways:

  • Each thunk has an Email Inbox" so that email messages can be sent to it along. with attachments. Each of these messages can be processed by custom AI Instructions to extract information and create one or more workflow requests

  • Each thunk also has a secure Webhook endpoint which can be used to route form submissions to, or send events from external applications.

  • For deeper programmatic integrations, external applications can use a REST API to submit workflow requests, check on their progress, and retrieve their results.

  • Every thunk also has a chat-based AI agent that can act upon natural language instructions to create new workflow requests (perhaps by loading them from a spreadsheet or by searching the web, etc)

  • Finally, every thunk also provides interactive user interfaces to load individual workflow requests via a form, or to bulk-load them from files or folders.
