Back to APIs

Manage payments, expenses, teams and more with Brex.

Using the Brex API with Trigger.dev

You can use Trigger.dev with any existing Node SDK or even just using fetch. Using io.runTask makes your Brex background job resumable and appear in our dashboard.

Use io.runTask() and the official SDK or fetch.

Example code using Brex

Below is a working code example of how you can use Brex with Trigger.dev. These samples are open source and maintained by the community, you can copy and paste them into your own projects.

1
import { TriggerClient, eventTrigger } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
2
import z from "zod";

const endpointURL = `${process.env.BREX_BASE_URL}/titles`; // Replace with the Other Brex API endpoint

// Create tokens at https://developer.brex.com/docs/quickstart/#1-generate-your-user-token

// Scopes: Titles: read, write

// Create request options

const requestOptions: RequestInit = {

  method: "POST",

    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.BREX_API_KEY}`,

  run: async (payload, io, ctx) => {

      async () => {
