Connect your Agents to any workflow with Callbacks and Last Agent Message
We're thrilled to announce the expansion of Agent Runs, a game-changing feature that has revolutionized the way developers and power users interact with Toolhouse agents. Developers ran 20,000 Agent Runs in just a month from the release of Agents, and the number keeps growing. Developers have built many use cases, including sales assistants, marketing agents, investment analysts, and more.
Today we're giving Agent Runs and Schedules two new powerful tools: Callbacks and Last Agent Messages.
This new functionality is available to day to current users and new users who sign up for Toolhouse.
Callbacks: unlocking workflow automation everywhere
Callbacks allow agents to autonomously call a service after completing their task, enabling developers to trigger workflows outside of Toolhouse, send logging information or notifications to existing services, or integrate with external APIs and webhooks.
You can specify a callback in your Agent Run API by passing a callback_url
parameter. If you use Schedules, you can also call your callback every time the agent completes its scheduled run.
Imagine being able to automate complex processes, such as triggering a workflow in Airflow or sending a notification to a Slack channel, all without manual intervention. Callbacks make this possible, giving you the flexibility to create customized workflows that meet their specific needs.
Last agent message: get the result, not the full JSON history
In addition to Callbacks, we've also improved to the response from an Agent Run. The new last_agent_message
field returns the last message in the agent history, making it easier for developers to extract the result of the Agent Run without having to perform complex array manipulation or JSON parsing.
This enhancement is particularly useful for developers who integrate Toolhouse into their existing automation workflows like Zapier, Gumloop, or Make. By providing a simpler and more convenient way to access the outcome of an Agent Run, we're saving developers time and effort, and enabling them to focus on building more sophisticated and automated workflows.
Simplicity means more power
Callbacks and Last Agent Message empower developers and power users to automate and streamline their workflows anywhere they choose to build them. With these new capabilities, you can:
Automate complex processes and workflows
Integrate Toolhouse with external APIs and webhooks
Trigger workflows outside of Toolhouse
Send logging information or notifications to existing services
Simplify your development workflow with improved API functionality
We're excited to see the innovative ways you'll use these new capabilities to take your automation workflows to the next level. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements, and happy automating!
