Connect events to your agent
Learn what to connect, which events to send, and how your agent receives them.
Start here
Sources
- Email sources: Gmail and Outlook
Notify an agent when newly received inbox mail matches a sender, recipient, or subject rule.
- Webhook sources
Receive JSON events from a service or a customer-supplied browser artifact, then route matching events to your agent.
- MCP message sources
Let an authorized agent send text and routing fields into Doorbell for other workflows to receive.
- Slack source
Send incoming personal DMs, direct mentions of you, and messages you address to Doorbell to your agent workflow.
- Microsoft Teams app source
Send private messages to the Doorbell app and direct @mentions in standard Teams channels to named agents.
Routing and destinations
- Agent inputs and matching
Choose which retained source data enters a named agent's inbox and which fields its receiver sees.
- Details to include
Choose the optional source data your agent receives after an event matches.
- Grouping and timing
Control when matching events ring, so related messages can arrive together and notifications respect your schedule.
- Webhook receivers
Push matching notifications to a public HTTPS endpoint that can start your agent’s workflow.
- MCP inboxes
Hold wakeup notifications for an agent to consume or lease. A retained inbox stores the messages separately.
- Retained inboxes and agent handoffs
Read retained messages independently of wakeups, track each reader, and link explicitly routed replies between agents.
Troubleshooting and access
- Testing and activation
Check the rules and receiver before sending real events to your agent.
- Health and troubleshooting
Find whether a problem is in the source connection, matching and timing, destination delivery, or your receiving agent.
- Delivery history and retries
Inspect notification attempts, failures, cancellations, and signal IDs without confusing delivery with completed work.
- Access and your data
Understand sign-in, mailbox connections, agent permissions, and what disconnecting or deleting removes.
