Each recipe is a prompt for an agent connected to Coordinate (connect one). Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client; the agent creates the trigger with the trigger tool, and you can see and pause it on Triggers. Change where it sends to fit how you want to hear about it: a webhook, Slack, Discord, email, or Poke (see actions).
PR ready to merge
text
Create a Coordinate trigger named pr_ready_to_merge: when github.pr.readiness arrives with payload.ready true and payload.author equal to <my GitHub username>, post "PR #{{event.payload.number}} in {{event.payload.repo}} is ready to merge: {{event.payload.url}}" to Slack using the secret SLACK_WEBHOOK.json
{"name": "pr_ready_to_merge",
"when": {"event": {"source": "github", "type": "github.pr.readiness", "where": {"payload.ready": {"eq": true}, "payload.author": {"eq": "<username>"}}}},
"then": {"slack": {"webhook_url": "secret:SLACK_WEBHOOK", "message": "PR #{{event.payload.number}} in {{event.payload.repo}} is ready to merge: {{event.payload.url}}"}}}Build or deploy failed
text
Create a Coordinate trigger named ci_or_deploy_failed: when a GitHub Actions run completes with conclusion failure, or a Vercel deployment errors, or a Cloudflare Pages build fails, send a webhook to <my URL>.json
{"name": "ci_or_deploy_failed",
"when": {"event": {"type": ["github.workflow_run.completed", "vercel.deployment.error", "cloudflare.pages.deployment"],
"where": {"any": [{"payload.conclusion": {"eq": "failure"}}, {"type": {"eq": "vercel.deployment.error"}}, {"payload.status": {"eq": "failure"}}]}}},
"then": {"webhook": {"url": "https://example.com/hooks/coordinate"}}}New stars on a repository
text
Create a Coordinate poller named github_stars that checks <owner>/<repo> on GitHub every 15 minutes and records the star count when it changes, then a trigger named new_stars that posts "{{event.payload.repo}} now has {{event.payload.stars}} stars" to Slack using the secret SLACK_WEBHOOK.json
{"kind": "poll", "name": "github_stars", "poll": {
"request": {"method": "GET", "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/<owner>/<repo>", "auth": {"connection": "github"}},
"select": {"fields": {"repo": "full_name", "stars": "stargazers_count"}},
"emit": {"type": "github.stars.changed", "key": "{{item.repo}}", "when": "changed", "compare": ["stars"]},
"interval": "PT15M"}}json
{"name": "new_stars",
"when": {"event": {"source": "github_stars", "type": "github.stars.changed"}},
"then": {"slack": {"webhook_url": "secret:SLACK_WEBHOOK", "message": "{{event.payload.repo}} now has {{event.payload.stars}} stars"}}}{"connection": "github"} works for any public repository, and for private ones the GitHub App is installed on. Only a private repository the app can't reach needs {"bearer": "secret:GITHUB_TOKEN"} with a personal access token.
Email from someone important
text
Create a Coordinate trigger named email_from_ana: when gmail.message.received arrives from ana@fund.vc, text me through Poke with the subject and snippet.json
{"name": "email_from_ana",
"when": {"event": {"source": "gmail", "type": "gmail.message.received", "where": {"payload.from_address": {"eq": "ana@fund.vc"}}}},
"then": {"poke": {"message": "Email from {{event.payload.from}}: {{event.payload.subject}} ({{event.payload.snippet}})", "api_key": "secret:POKE"}}}Sign-in alerts
text
Create a Coordinate trigger named login_alerts: whenever someone requests, approves, denies, or completes a sign-in to this workspace, email me the summary.json
{"name": "login_alerts",
"when": {"event": {"source": "coordinate", "type": ["login.requested", "login.approved", "login.denied", "login.signed_in"]}},
"then": {"email": {"subject": "Coordinate sign-in", "message": "{{event.payload.summary}}"}}}Claude Code spend
text
Create a Coordinate query trigger named claude_code_daily_spend: once a day, when today's Claude Code spend (claude_code.usage cost_microusd) passes $20, post the total to Discord using the secret DISCORD_WEBHOOK.json
{"name": "claude_code_daily_spend",
"when": {"query": {"sql": "SELECT ROUND(SUM(json_extract(payload, '$.cost_microusd')) / 1000000.0, 2) AS dollars, local_date AS day FROM events WHERE type = 'claude_code.usage' AND local_date = (SELECT MAX(local_date) FROM events WHERE type = 'claude_code.usage') GROUP BY local_date",
"test": {"dollars": {"gte": 20}}, "key": "day"}},
"then": {"discord": {"webhook_url": "secret:DISCORD_WEBHOOK", "message": "Claude Code spend passed $20 today: ${{row.dollars}} on {{row.day}}."}}}Hand a finished task to an agent
text
Create a Coordinate trigger named launch_post: when a Todoist task in the Launch project is completed, start my Claude agent <agent id> in environment <environment id> with the task as context, using the Anthropic key in the secret ANTHROPIC.Stored keys are secrets: add them on Settings → Secrets or with coordinate secret set NAME. An agent can't read a secret's value, only use it by name.
