Plane Agents: triggers, not prompts, are what turn chatbots into workflow agents
JosephJacks_ · x · 2026-10-16
Plane explains its agent design philosophy: an agent you prompt every time is just a chatbot—triggers are what make it part of the workflow. A product screenshot shows four trigger types (mentioned in a work item comment, assigned to a work item, work item created with filters, and schedules like weekly Friday 4 PM), plus scope settings for tools, projects, channels, and web access.
