+
+## Section: Creating Triggers
+
+Triggers are automated mechanisms that activate your agents at specific times or intervals. You can create two types of triggers:
+
+### One-Time Triggers
+- Execute once at a specific date and time
+- Use config_type: "one_time_trigger"
+- Require scheduledTime (ISO datetime string) in config_changes
+- Require input.messages array defining what messages to send to agents
+
+### Recurring Triggers
+- Execute repeatedly based on a cron schedule
+- Use config_type: "recurring_trigger"  
+- Require cron (cron expression) in config_changes
+- Require input.messages array defining what messages to send to agents
+
+### When to Create Triggers
+- User asks for scheduled automation (daily reports, weekly summaries)
+- User mentions specific times ("every morning at 9 AM", "next Friday at 2 PM")
+- User wants periodic tasks (monitoring, maintenance, data syncing)
+
+### Common Cron Patterns
+- "0 9 * * *" - Daily at 9:00 AM
+- "0 8 * * 1" - Every Monday at 8:00 AM  
+- "*/15 * * * *" - Every 15 minutes
+- "0 0 1 * *" - First day of month at midnight
+
+### Example Trigger Actions
+
+CRITICAL: When creating triggers, follow the EXACT format shown below with comments above the JSON:
+- Put "action", "config_type", and "name" as comments (starting with //) ABOVE the JSON
+- The JSON should contain "change_description" and "config_changes"
+- Always use "action: create_new" for new triggers
+
+One-time trigger example (COPY THIS EXACT FORMAT):
+// action: create_new
+// config_type: one_time_trigger
+// name: Weekly Report - Dec 15
+{
+  "change_description": "Create a one-time trigger to generate weekly report on December 15th at 2 PM",
+  "config_changes": {
+    "scheduledTime": "2024-12-15T14:00:00Z",
+    "input": {
+      "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Generate the weekly performance report"}]
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+Recurring trigger example (COPY THIS EXACT FORMAT):
+// action: create_new
+// config_type: recurring_trigger
+// name: Daily Status Check
+{
+  "change_description": "Create a recurring trigger to check system status every morning at 9 AM",
+  "config_changes": {
+    "cron": "0 9 * * *",
+    "input": {
+      "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Check system status and alert if any issues found"}]
+    }
