Authoring Trigger.dev Tasks

Tasks are functions that can run for a long time with strong resilience to failure. Define them in files under your /trigger directory. Always import from @trigger.dev/sdk. Never import from @trigger.dev/sdk/v3 (deprecated alias) or @trigger.dev/core.

Setup

// /trigger/hello-world.ts
import { task } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";

export const helloWorld = task({
  id: "hello-world", // unique within the project
  run: async (payload: { message: string }, { ctx }) => {
    console.log(payload.message, "attempt", ctx.attempt.number);
    return { ok: true }; // must be JSON serializable
  },
});
