Lindy

Description

Lindy lets users build named agents that run their inbox, meetings, calendar and ad-hoc work. The docs explicitly enumerate three trigger families (time-based, chat-based, event-based) including webhooks, scheduled timers, Slack-message-received, email-received, calendar-event-started and Sheets-row-added. Agents call documented skills (HTTP, computer-use, Lindy Phone, Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, etc.), and most actions with side effects expose a confirmation toggle that pauses the workflow and emails the owner for approval. A draft mode queues outputs (e.g. Gmail drafts) for review before sending.

Solution

Trigger-driven workflows. A trigger (time-based, chat-based or event-based) wakes the agent, which executes a sequence of skills/integrations. Actions with side effects can be guarded by a confirmation toggle that pauses execution and emails the owner; on approval the workflow continues. Draft modes (e.g. Gmail drafts) collect outputs for manual review. The Pro tier adds computer-use for browser-based tools. Approval and the confirmation toggle are first-class.

Primary use cases

• personal AI work assistant for inbox, meetings and calendar
• event-driven automations triggered by Slack/email/calendar/Sheets/webhook
• scheduled or recurring agent workflows via Timer skill
• approval-gated execution of sensitive multi-step actions
