What you can do with Tailscale webhooks

Start an agent

Tailscale events can start a new agent run. For example, an agent that checks every new device on your Tailscale network.

Resume an agent

An agent can pause until the Tailscale event it needs arrives, for up to 90 days, and costs nothing while it waits.

Message an agent

Tailscale events can land in a running agent's conversation, so it acts on them with full context.

Events you can receive from Tailscale

Some of the events Tailscale sends. Your agent can filter on any of them.

Example

An agent that checks every new device on your Tailscale network

import { webhook, webhooks } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";


export const tailscale = webhooks.endpoint.define({
  id: "tailscale",
  source: webhooks.tailscale(),
});


export const tailscaleEvents = webhook({
  id: "tailscale-events",
  endpoint: tailscale,
  onEvent: async ({ event }) => {
    // Start, resume or message your agent with the event
    console.log(event);
  },
});

Verified for you

webhooks.tailscale() checks the Tailscale-Webhook-Signature header on every request. Bad requests are rejected before anything runs.

Filter before anything runs

Only the Tailscale events you care about start a run. Filtered webhooks use no compute.

See every delivery

Every webhook is recorded with its payload, headers and the agents it reached, so you can debug it and replay it.

Get started

  1. 1

    Set up the agent

    Copy the starter prompt into your coding agent, like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex. It creates a Trigger.dev project and adds the webhook endpoint. Prefer to write it yourself? Start from the example above.

  2. 2

    Add the webhook in Tailscale

    Deploy your project, or run trigger dev, and the endpoint appears on the Webhooks page of the Trigger.dev dashboard with its URL. Add that URL in Tailscale's webhook settings and pick the events you need. The endpoint's Copy setup prompt button gives your coding agent the exact steps.

  3. 3

    Add Tailscale's webhook secret

    Copy the webhook secret from Tailscale. Then on the endpoint's page in the Trigger.dev dashboard, choose Set signing secret and paste it in, so Trigger.dev can check every request really came from Tailscale.

  4. 4

    Try it

    Send a test event from Tailscale, or use the endpoint's Test tab. It appears on the endpoint's Deliveries tab, with the agents it reached.
