In DevAutOps, a Trigger is the executable logic behind every app - the code that performs an action against a cloud service, API, or external system. Triggers can run from a form submission, a webhook, or as a scheduled AI Job, with live status and usage history tracked in one control plane.
Every app in DevAutOps is backed by a Trigger - the executable logic that actually performs an action against a cloud service, an internal API, or an external system. Triggers are what turn a form submission into something that really happens in your environment.
Every automation, one control plane
A Trigger can be run three ways: from an app someone opens and submits, from a webhook another system calls, or as an AI Job on a schedule or an operational condition. Regardless of how it’s invoked, every run shows up with live status and usage history in the same place, so there’s one control plane for “what ran, when, and did it succeed” instead of automation logic scattered across cron jobs and ad hoc scripts.
AI Jobs specifically are the scheduled or event-driven side of this: functions DevAutOps deploys for you and runs on an interval, a webhook, or a condition you define, wired into your existing cloud accounts. This is what plan limits like job executions per month actually meter - each run of a scheduled AI Job counts once.
Why this matters
- ✓Live status & usage - every Trigger run is visible, not just the ones someone remembers to check.
- ✓Secure endpoints - Triggers exposed as APIs or webhooks are access-controlled like everything else on the platform.
- ✓Schedules & webhooks - the same Trigger can be run on demand, on a timer, or from another system’s event.
Because Triggers are decoupled from any single app, the same operation - say, rotating a credential - can be triggered manually today and automated on a nightly schedule tomorrow, without rebuilding anything.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Trigger in DevAutOps?
A Trigger is the executable backend logic behind an app - the code that performs the actual action against a cloud service, internal API, or external system when the app is run.
What is an AI Job?
An AI Job is an AI-written function that DevAutOps deploys and runs automatically on a schedule, a recurring interval, a webhook, or an operational condition, wired into your existing cloud accounts.
What counts as a job execution on a DevAutOps plan?
Each time a Trigger or AI Job runs - whether from a schedule, a webhook, or an operational condition - it counts as one job execution against your plan’s monthly limit.
