Codegen is designed to work where you work. Trigger agents from your existing tools and they’ll respond right where the conversation started.

​
Trigger Methods

​
From Your Tools

  • Slack - Mention @codegen in any channel or DM
  • Linear - Assign issues to Codegen or mention in comments
  • Jira - Assign issues to Codegen or @mention in comments
  • ClickUp - Assign tasks to Codegen or mention in comments
  • Monday.com - Assign items to Codegen or mention in comments
  • GitHub - Comment on PRs or issues with @codegen-agent

​
From Codegen

  • Web UI - Start a new agent run directly from the dashboard
  • CLI - Run codegen agent create "your task" from your terminal
  • API - Trigger programmatically for automated workflows

​
How Agent Context Works

​
One Agent Per Context

Each context gets its own dedicated agent:
  • Slack - Each thread is a separate agent. Follow-up messages in the same thread route to the same agent
  • Linear/Jira/ClickUp/Monday - Each ticket is a separate agent. All comments on that ticket go to the same agent
  • GitHub - Each issue or PR is a separate agent. All comments stay with the same agent

​
Shared Context with PRs

When an agent creates a PR:
  • The agent always monitors its own PR and responds to comments
  • Agents triggered from tickets (Linear, Jira, etc.) share context between the ticket and any PRs they create
  • Follow-up requests on either the ticket or PR route to the same agent
  • Automatically fixes broken tests - When CI checks fail, the agent wakes up and pushes fix commits
This means you can start a conversation in Linear, have the agent create a PR, then continue the discussion on either platform - it’s all the same agent with full context.
Follow-up messages always go to the same agent. Whether you’re continuing a Slack thread, commenting on a ticket, or reviewing a PR - the agent maintains full conversation history.
Learn more about automatic test fixing in the Checks Auto-fixer documentation.

​
All Agents Created Equal

No matter where you trigger from, your request:
  1. Routes to a dedicated agent for that context
  2. Runs in secure sandboxes
  3. Has access to all your integrations
  4. Creates trackable runs visible at codegen.com/agents

​
Automatic Triggers

Codegen supports certain automated triggers as first-class citizens. These activate without manual intervention to maintain code quality:
  • Checks Auto-fixer - Automatically fixes failing CI checks on agent PRs
  • PR Review - Provides instant code review feedback on all PRs
These automations work alongside manual triggers. An agent fixing broken tests can still respond to comments on its PR or the original ticket that triggered it.
