How to Use Start Webhook Trigger

Community Discussion
1

I’m trying to get my head around the various ways to use Mindstudio and integrations with other tools like Google forms (as was suggested in another thread).

Not quite sure what the start webhook trigger does or how to use it and can’t find any documentation about it.

Is there a tutorial and use case examples anywhere on how or when you might want to use it?

I would enjoy learning more about this as well.

@Alex_MindStudio or anyone else that might be able to answer… Is a mindstudio business account required for using the webhooks trigger?

Trying to see if I can trigger an external response.

It seems like such a basic thing, but proving to be a challenge figuring out how to actually do it.

Hi @focusedlife,

The Webhook Trigger in the Start block is only available to Business Plan users. It lets you trigger your AI Agent using a simple HTTP request.

If you’re using Google Forms, one option is to use Apps Script to send form submissions directly to the Agent.

Alternatively, you can have Google Forms save responses to a Google Sheet, then set your Agent to run on a schedule and use the “Fetch Google Sheet” block to pull in the data.

Hope this helps!

@Alex_MindStudio , thank you!

Any chance you could give more details on how to do this?:

Hi @focusedlife,

Since this involves a third-party solution, I can’t go into too much detail, but here’s a brief walkthrough:

  1. Set the Start block to use the Webhook Trigger
  2. Create a Google Form and configure the responses to be saved in a Google Sheet
  3. In the Google Sheet, open Apps Script and add a script that sends the form data to the webhook. You’ll also need to set up a trigger to run the script on form submission

Hope this helps!

@Alex_MindStudio thank you! And this would work with the non business plan?

In theory, this should also work with Make or Zapier, too, right?

@Alex_MindStudio , not sure you saw this, but curious if the Webhook Trigger in mindstudio works with the starter tier?

Hi @focusedlife,

The Webhook trigger in the Start block is only available on the Community and Business Plans. You can check your current plan by going to Billing Settings → Balance:
