Skill: Adding Native Trigger Services

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for adding new native trigger services to Windmill. Native triggers allow external services (like Nextcloud, Google Drive, etc.) to trigger Windmill scripts/flows via webhooks or push notifications.

Architecture Overview

The native trigger system consists of:

1. Database Layer - PostgreSQL tables and enum types
2. Backend Rust Implementation - Core trait, handlers, and service modules in the windmill-native-triggers crate
3. Frontend Svelte Components - Configuration forms and UI components

Key Files

Crate Structure

The native trigger code lives in the windmill-native-triggers crate (backend/windmill-native-triggers/). The windmill-api crate re-exports everything via a shim:

// backend/windmill-api/src/native_triggers/mod.rs
pub use windmill_native_triggers::*;

All new service modules go in backend/windmill-native-triggers/src/.

Core Concepts

The External Trait

Every native trigger service implements the External trait defined in lib.rs:

#[async_trait]
pub trait External: Send + Sync + 'static {
    // Associated types:
    type ServiceConfig: Debug + DeserializeOwned + Serialize + Send + Sync;
    type TriggerData: Debug + Serialize + Send + Sync;
    type OAuthData: DeserializeOwned + Serialize + Clone + Send + Sync;
    type CreateResponse: DeserializeOwned + Send + Sync;

    // Constants:
    const SUPPORT_WEBHOOK: bool;
    const SERVICE_NAME: ServiceName;
    const DISPLAY_NAME: &'static str;
    const TOKEN_ENDPOINT: &'static str;
    const REFRESH_ENDPOINT: &'static str;
    const AUTH_ENDPOINT: &'static str;

    // Required methods:
    async fn create(&self, w_id, oauth_data, webhook_token, data, db, tx) -> Result<Self::CreateResponse>;
    async fn update(&self, w_id, oauth_data, external_id, webhook_token, data, db, tx) -> Result<serde_json::Value>;
    async fn get(&self, w_id, oauth_data, external_id, db, tx) -> Result<Self::TriggerData>;
    async fn delete(&self, w_id, oauth_data, external_id, db, tx) -> Result<()>;
    async fn exists(&self, w_id, oauth_data, external_id, db, tx) -> Result<bool>;
    async fn maintain_triggers(&self, db, workspace_id, triggers, oauth_data, synced, errors);
    fn external_id_and_metadata_from_response(&self, resp) -> (String, Option<serde_json::Value>);

    // Methods with defaults:
    async fn prepare_webhook(&self, db, w_id, headers, body, script_path, is_flow) -> Result<PushArgsOwned>;
    fn service_config_from_create_response(&self, data, resp) -> Option<serde_json::Value>;
    fn additional_routes(&self) -> axum::Router;
    async fn http_client_request<T, B>(&self, url, method, workspace_id, tx, db, headers, body) -> Result<T>;
}

Key design points:

• update() returns serde_json::Value - the resolved service_config to store. Each service is responsible for building the final config.
• maintain_triggers() - periodic background maintenance. Each service implements its own strategy (Nextcloud: reconcile with external state; Google: renew expiring channels).
• No list_all() in the trait - services that need it (Nextcloud) implement it privately; services that don't (Google) use different maintenance strategies.
• No get_external_id_from_trigger_data() or extract_service_config_from_trigger_data() - removed in favor of the maintain_triggers pattern.

Create Lifecycle: Two Paths

The create_native_trigger handler in handler.rs supports two creation flows, controlled by service_config_from_create_response():

Path A: Short (Google pattern) - service_config_from_create_response() returns Some(config):

1. create() registers on external service
2. external_id_and_metadata_from_response() extracts the ID
3. service_config_from_create_response() builds the config directly from input data + response metadata
4. Stores trigger in DB -- done, no extra round-trip

Use this when the external_id is known before the create call (e.g., Google generates the channel_id as a UUID upfront and includes it in the webhook URL).

Path B: Long (Nextcloud pattern) - service_config_from_create_response() returns None (default):

1. create() registers on external service (webhook URL has no external_id yet)
2. external_id_and_metadata_from_response() extracts the ID
3. update() is called to fix the webhook URL with the now-known external_id
4. update() returns the resolved service_config
5. Stores trigger in DB

Use this when the external_id is assigned by the remote service and the webhook URL needs to be corrected after creation.

OAuth Token Storage (Three-Table Pattern)

OAuth tokens are stored across three tables, NOT in workspace_integrations.oauth_data directly:

The decrypt_oauth_data() function in lib.rs assembles these into a unified struct:

pub struct OAuthConfig {
    pub base_url: String,
    pub access_token: String,      // decrypted from variable
    pub refresh_token: Option<String>, // from account table
    pub client_id: String,         // from oauth_data or instance settings
    pub client_secret: String,     // from oauth_data or instance settings
}

Instance-level sharing: when oauth_data.instance_shared == true, client_id and client_secret are read from global settings instead of workspace_integrations.

URL Resolution

The resolve_endpoint() helper handles both absolute and relative OAuth URLs:

pub fn resolve_endpoint(base_url: &str, endpoint: &str) -> String {
    if endpoint.starts_with("http://") || endpoint.starts_with("https://") {
        endpoint.to_string()  // Google: absolute URLs
    } else {
        format!("{}{}", base_url, endpoint)  // Nextcloud: relative paths
    }
}

ServiceName Methods

ServiceName is the central registry enum. Each variant must implement these match arms:

Step-by-Step Implementation Guide

Step 1: Database Migration

Create a new migration file: backend/migrations/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_newservice_trigger.up.sql

-- Add the service to the native_trigger_service enum
ALTER TYPE native_trigger_service ADD VALUE IF NOT EXISTS 'newservice';

-- Add to TRIGGER_KIND enum (used for trigger tracking)
ALTER TYPE TRIGGER_KIND ADD VALUE IF NOT EXISTS 'newservice';

-- Add to job_trigger_kind enum (used for job tracking)
ALTER TYPE job_trigger_kind ADD VALUE IF NOT EXISTS 'newservice';

Also create the corresponding down migration.

Step 2: Update windmill-common Enums

backend/windmill-common/src/triggers.rs

Add variant to TriggerKind enum, and update to_key() and fmt() implementations.

backend/windmill-common/src/jobs.rs

Add variant to JobTriggerKind enum and update the Display implementation.

Step 3: Backend Service Module

Create a new directory: backend/windmill-native-triggers/src/newservice/

            .map(|t| (t.id.clone(), serde_json::to_value(&t).unwrap_or_default()))
            .collect();

        (resp.id.clone(), None)
    }

    // service_config_from_create_response: NOT overridden (returns None).
    // This means the handler uses the update+get pattern after create.
    // Override and return Some(...) to skip the update+get cycle (Google pattern).
}

impl NewService {
    /// Private helper to list all triggers from the external service.
    async fn list_all(
        &self,
        w_id: &str,
        oauth_data: &<Self as External>::OAuthData,
        db: &DB,
    ) -> Result<Vec<<Self as External>::TriggerData>> {
        // Implementation depends on the external service's API
        todo!()
    }
}

Step 4: Update lib.rs Registry

In backend/windmill-native-triggers/src/lib.rs:

// Service modules - add new services here:
#[cfg(feature = "native_trigger")]
pub mod newservice;  // <-- Add this

// ServiceName enum - add variant:
pub enum ServiceName {
    Nextcloud,
    Google,
    NewService,  // <-- Add this
}

// Then add match arms in ALL ServiceName methods:
// as_str(), as_trigger_kind(), as_job_trigger_kind(), token_endpoint(),
// auth_endpoint(), oauth_scopes(), resource_type(), extra_auth_params(),
// integration_service(), TryFrom<String>, Display

Step 5: Update handler.rs Routes

In backend/windmill-native-triggers/src/handler.rs:

pub fn generate_native_trigger_routers() -> Router {
    // ...
    #[cfg(feature = "native_trigger")]
    {
        use crate::newservice::NewService;
        return router
            .nest("/nextcloud", service_routes(NextCloud))
            .nest("/google", service_routes(Google))
            .nest("/newservice", service_routes(NewService));  // <-- Add this
    }
    // ...
}

Step 6: Update sync.rs

In backend/windmill-native-triggers/src/sync.rs:

pub async fn sync_all_triggers(db: &DB) -> Result<BackgroundSyncResult> {
    // ...
    #[cfg(feature = "native_trigger")]
    {
        use crate::newservice::NewService;

        // ... existing service syncs ...

        // New service sync
        let (service_name, result) = sync_service_triggers(db, NewService).await;
        total_synced += result.synced_triggers.len();
        total_errors += result.errors.len();
        service_results.insert(service_name, result);
    }
    // ...
}

Step 7: Frontend Service Registry

In frontend/src/lib/components/triggers/native/utils.ts:

Add to NATIVE_TRIGGER_SERVICES, getTriggerIconName(), and getServiceIcon().

Step 8: Frontend Trigger Form Component

Create: frontend/src/lib/components/triggers/native/services/newservice/NewServiceTriggerForm.svelte

Step 9: Frontend Icon Component

Create: frontend/src/lib/components/icons/NewServiceIcon.svelte

Step 10: Update NativeTriggerEditor

Check frontend/src/lib/components/triggers/native/NativeTriggerEditor.svelte to ensure it dynamically loads form components based on service name.

Step 11: Workspace Integration UI

Add your service to the supportedServices map in frontend/src/lib/components/workspaceSettings/WorkspaceIntegrations.svelte:

const supportedServices: Record<string, ServiceConfig> = {
    // ... existing services ...
    newservice: {
        name: 'newservice',
        displayName: 'New Service',
        description: 'Connect to New Service for triggers',
        icon: NewServiceIcon,
        docsUrl: 'https://www.windmill.dev/docs/integrations/newservice',
        requiresBaseUrl: false,  // false for cloud services, true for self-hosted
        setupInstructions: [
            'Step 1: Create an OAuth app on the service',
            'Step 2: Configure the redirect URI shown below',
            'Step 3: Enter the client credentials below'
        ]
    }
}

Step 12: Update frontend/src/lib/components/triggers/utils.ts

Update ALL of these maps/functions:

1. triggerIconMap - import and add icon
2. triggerDisplayNamesMap - add display name
3. triggerTypeOrder in sortTriggers() - add type
4. getLightConfig() - add case for your service
5. getTriggerLabel() - add case for your service
6. jobTriggerKinds - add to array
7. countPropertyMap - add count property
8. triggerSaveFunctions - add save function

Step 13: Update TriggersBadge Component

In frontend/src/lib/components/graph/renderers/triggers/TriggersBadge.svelte:

1. Import the icon
2. Add to baseConfig with countKey (the dynamic availableNativeServices loop does NOT set countKey)
3. Add to the allTypes array

Step 14: Update TriggersWrapper.svelte

In frontend/src/lib/components/triggers/TriggersWrapper.svelte:

Add a {:else if selectedTrigger.type === 'yourservice'} case that renders <NativeTriggersPanel service="yourservice" ...> with the same props pattern as the existing native trigger cases (e.g., nextcloud).

Step 15: Update AddTriggersButton.svelte

In frontend/src/lib/components/triggers/AddTriggersButton.svelte:

1. Add yourserviceAvailable state variable
2. Add setYourserviceState() async function using isServiceAvailable('yourservice', $workspaceStore!)
3. Call it at module level
4. Add a dropdown entry to addTriggerItems with hidden: !yourserviceAvailable

Step 16: Update TriggersEditor.svelte Delete Handling

In frontend/src/lib/components/triggers/TriggersEditor.svelte:

Add your service to the nativeTriggerServices map in deleteDeployedTrigger(). Native triggers use NativeTriggerService.deleteNativeTrigger({ workspace, serviceName, externalId }) instead of the standard path-based delete.

Step 17: Update getUsedTriggers for Sidebar Visibility

The sidebar (frontend/src/lib/components/sidebar/SidebarContent.svelte) shows native-trigger links only if $usedTriggerKinds includes the service — without this, your trigger page will never appear in the nav bar even when triggers exist.

1. Backend — add {service}_used: bool to the UsedTriggers struct and SELECT in backend/windmill-api-workspaces/src/workspaces.rs::get_used_triggers():

   EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM native_trigger WHERE workspace_id = $1 AND service_name = '{service}'::native_trigger_service) AS "{service}_used!"

2. OpenAPI — add {service}_used: boolean to the response schema for GET /w/{workspace}/workspaces/used_triggers (under both properties and required).
3. Layout — in frontend/src/routes/(root)/(logged)/+layout.svelte::loadUsedTriggerKinds(), destructure {service}_used and push '{service}' to usedKinds.

Step 18: Update OpenAPI Spec and Regenerate Types

Add to JobTriggerKind enum in backend/windmill-api/openapi.yaml, then:

cd frontend && npm run generate-backend-client

Special Patterns

Unified Service with trigger_type (Google Pattern)

When a single service handles multiple trigger types (e.g., Google Drive + Calendar share OAuth and API patterns), use a single ServiceName variant with a discriminator field:

pub enum GoogleTriggerType { Drive, Calendar }

pub struct GoogleServiceConfig {
    pub trigger_type: GoogleTriggerType,
    // Drive-specific fields (only used when trigger_type = Drive)
    pub resource_id: Option<String>,
    pub resource_name: Option<String>,
    // Calendar-specific fields (only used when trigger_type = Calendar)
    pub calendar_id: Option<String>,
    pub calendar_name: Option<String>,
    // Metadata set after creation
    pub google_resource_id: Option<String>,
    pub expiration: Option<String>,
}

Branch in trait methods based on trigger_type. Frontend uses a ToggleButtonGroup to switch between types. This keeps the codebase simpler (one service, one OAuth flow, one set of routes).

See backend/windmill-native-triggers/src/google/ for the reference implementation.

Skipping update+get After Create (Google Pattern)

Override service_config_from_create_response() to return Some(config) when the external_id is known before the create call:

fn service_config_from_create_response(
    &self,
    data: &NativeTriggerData<Self::ServiceConfig>,
    resp: &Self::CreateResponse,
) -> Option<serde_json::Value> {
    // Clone input config, add metadata from response
    let mut config = data.service_config.clone();
    config.google_resource_id = Some(resp.resource_id.clone());
    config.expiration = Some(resp.expiration.clone());
    Some(serde_json::to_value(&config).unwrap())
}

Services with Absolute OAuth Endpoints (Google)

Unlike self-hosted services where OAuth endpoints are relative paths appended to base_url, services like Google have absolute URLs:

// Nextcloud: relative paths
ServiceName::Nextcloud => "/apps/oauth2/api/v1/token",
// Google: absolute URLs
ServiceName::Google => "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",

The resolve_endpoint() function handles both. For services with absolute endpoints:

• base_url can be empty
• requiresBaseUrl: false in the frontend workspace integration config
• Add extra_auth_params() if needed (Google requires access_type=offline and prompt=consent)

Channel-Based Push Notifications with Renewal (Google Pattern)

For services using expiring watch channels instead of persistent webhooks:

1. Store expiration in service_config (as part of ServiceConfig)
2. In maintain_triggers(), implement renewal logic instead of using reconcile_with_external_state():

   async fn maintain_triggers(&self, db, workspace_id, triggers, oauth_data, synced, errors) {
       for trigger in triggers {
           if should_renew_channel(trigger) {
               self.renew_channel(db, trigger, oauth_data).await;
           }
       }
   }

3. Renewal: best-effort stop old channel, create new one with same external_id, update service_config with new expiration
4. Google example: Drive channels expire in 24h (renew when <1h left), Calendar channels expire in 7 days (renew when <1 day left)

reconcile_with_external_state (Nextcloud Pattern)

The reusable function in sync.rs compares external triggers with DB state:

• Triggers missing externally: sets error "Trigger no longer exists on external service"
• Triggers present externally: clears errors, updates service_config if it differs

Usage in maintain_triggers():

let external_pairs: Vec<(String, serde_json::Value)> = /* fetch from external */;
crate::sync::reconcile_with_external_state(
    db, workspace_id, Self::SERVICE_NAME, triggers, &external_pairs, synced, errors,
).await;

Webhook Payload Processing

Override prepare_webhook() to parse service-specific payloads into script/flow args:

async fn prepare_webhook(&self, db, w_id, headers, body, script_path, is_flow) -> Result<PushArgsOwned> {
    let mut args = HashMap::new();
    args.insert("event_type".to_string(), Box::new(headers.get("x-event-type").cloned()) as _);
    args.insert("payload".to_string(), Box::new(serde_json::from_str::<serde_json::Value>(&body)?) as _);
    Ok(PushArgsOwned { extra: None, args })
}

Then register in prepare_native_trigger_args() in lib.rs:

pub async fn prepare_native_trigger_args(service_name, db, w_id, headers, body) -> Result<Option<PushArgsOwned>> {
    match service_name {
        ServiceName::Google => { /* ... */ Ok(Some(args)) }
        ServiceName::NewService => { /* ... */ Ok(Some(args)) }
        ServiceName::Nextcloud => Ok(None), // Uses default body parsing
    }
}

Instance-Level OAuth Credentials

When workspace_integrations.oauth_data.instance_shared == true, decrypt_oauth_data() reads client_id and client_secret from instance-level global settings instead of workspace-level. This allows admins to share OAuth app credentials across workspaces.

The frontend handles this via the generate_instance_connect_url endpoint in workspace_integrations.rs.

Testing Checklist

• Database migration runs successfully
• cargo check -p windmill-native-triggers --features native_trigger passes
• npx svelte-check --threshold error passes (in frontend/)
• Service appears in workspace integrations list
• OAuth flow completes successfully
• Can create a new trigger
• Can view trigger details
• Can update trigger configuration
• Can delete trigger
• Webhook receives and processes payloads
• Background sync works correctly (reconciliation or channel renewal)
• Error handling works (expired tokens, service unavailable)

Reference Implementations

Nextcloud (Self-Hosted, Update+Get Pattern)

Key patterns: relative OAuth endpoints, base_url required, list_all + reconcile for sync, update returns JSON from get().

Google (Cloud, Unified Service, Short Create)

Key patterns: absolute OAuth endpoints, empty base_url, trigger_type for Drive/Calendar, expiring watch channels with renewal, service_config_from_create_response skips update+get, get() reconstructs data from stored service_config (no external "get channel" API).
