Use workflow blueprints to ship an agent in minutes

Workflow blueprints in the Hooksbase dashboard

Hooksbase includes six guided workflow blueprints so a new project can move from idea to validated agent workflow without assembling every setting from scratch. Each blueprint is a recipe: a source, a destination, and a validation event that proves the pipeline accepts work.

Available blueprints

The dashboard exposes these agent-oriented blueprints:

  • Agent runtime over HTTP (agent_runtime_http) — standard HTTP ingest → agent webhook
  • Agent runtime over email (agent_runtime_email) — email ingest → agent webhook
  • Agent runtime over forms (agent_runtime_form) — form ingest → agent webhook
  • Agent memory / queue handoff (agent_memory_queue_handoff) — HTTP ingest → AWS SQS queue for agent memory store
  • Agent journaling to object storage (agent_journal_object_storage) — HTTP ingest → S3-compatible archive
  • Scheduled background agent triggers (background_task_trigger) — cron schedule → agent webhook

Tier-aware availability

  • Free: HTTP, email, and form paths for single-agent flows
  • Starter ($25): scheduled webhooks additionally unlocked
  • Pro ($79) and above: queue handoff and object-storage blueprints additionally unlocked — all six available

Validate the first workflow

The onboarding flow can validate a selected blueprint with a synthetic source-aware event (the payload matches the channel — HTTP JSON, email envelope, form payload, or scheduled trigger). Successful validation:

  • runs the full routing, transform, and outbound execution logic the live runtime uses
  • persists the resulting delivery in history
  • marks onboarding complete for the project

That gives your team a concrete activation milestone: a source was selected, a destination was configured, and Hooksbase proved the workflow accepts an event end-to-end.

When to pick which blueprint

  • HTTP — your agent is triggered by machine-to-machine events. Start here if you're mostly forwarding provider webhooks (Stripe, GitHub, etc.).
  • Email — your agent processes inbound email. Start here for triage, invoice parsing, RFP handling.
  • Form — your agent is triggered by user submissions. Start here for intake forms, lead qualification, or dashboard-initiated runs.
  • Queue handoff — your agent is a consumer on an AWS SQS queue. Start here when events need to land in a queue instead of calling the agent directly.
  • Object storage — events should be archived, not processed immediately. Start here for audit trails or delayed batch processing.
  • Scheduled — your agent runs on a cadence. Start here for daily summaries, periodic syncs, or any workflow without a human trigger.
