App Event Tasks
App event tasks use connected apps as triggers. They are useful when Type has a supported event source for the connected app.
Supported app-event patterns
Section titled “Supported app-event patterns”| App area | Example task |
|---|---|
| GitHub | Review new PRs, summarize issues, react to repository updates. |
| Linear | Triage new issues, summarize priority changes, draft updates. |
| Slack | Bring Slack channel messages into Type, then respond when the teammate is mentioned or when the teammate is configured to auto-reply. |
Setup checklist
Section titled “Setup checklist”- Confirm the app connector is configured.
- Choose the supported app event source.
- Write instructions for what the teammate should do with the event.
- Confirm the teammate has the connector and skills needed to act on the event.
Keep triggers narrow
Section titled “Keep triggers narrow”Avoid broad triggers that create noisy work. Start with one high-signal event, then expand once the teammate consistently produces useful results.
