Lindy Core Workflow A: Agent Creation

Overview

Complete workflow for creating, configuring, and testing Lindy AI agents. Agents consist of four components: Prompt (behavioral instructions), Model (AI engine), Skills (available actions), and Exit Conditions (completion criteria).

Prerequisites

• Lindy account at
• Use case defined (support bot, email triage, data processor, etc.)
• Required integrations identified (Slack, Gmail, Sheets, etc.)

Instructions

Step 1: Define Agent Specification

Before building, document:

• Purpose: What the agent does (one sentence)
• Trigger: What wakes it up (webhook, email, schedule, chat, etc.)
• Actions: What it does (send email, update sheet, post to Slack, etc.)
• Model: GPT-4 (smart, expensive), Claude Sonnet (balanced), Gemini Flash (fast, cheap)

Step 2: Create the Agent

Option A — Natural Language (recommended):

1. Click New Agent at

2. Describe your agent in plain English:

   When a customer emails [e-mail], classify the email as
   billing/technical/general, draft a response using our knowledge base,
   and post the classification to #support-triage in Slack
   

3. Agent Builder auto-generates trigger + action nodes

Option B — Manual Build:

1. Click New Agent > Start from scratch
2. Add trigger: Click "+" > Select trigger type
3. Add actions: Click "+" > Search for action
4. Connect nodes by dragging arrows between steps

Step 3: Configure the Prompt

Open Settings > Prompt. Structure it with clear sections:

## Identity
You are a customer support classifier and responder for [Company].

## Instructions
1. Read the incoming email carefully
2. Classify into: billing, technical, or general
3. Search the knowledge base for relevant answers
4. Draft a professional response using the KB results
5. If no KB match found, escalate to human

## Constraints
- Never promise refunds or credits without human approval
- Keep responses under 200 words
- Always include ticket reference number
