+### During training runs
+
+- On each iteration, the system records for every agent:
+  - `initial_output`: the agent’s first answer
+  - `human_feedback`: your inline feedback when prompted
+  - `improved_output`: the agent’s follow-up answer after feedback
+- This data is stored in a working file named `training_data.pkl` keyed by the agent’s internal ID and iteration.
+- While training is active, the agent automatically appends your prior human feedback to its prompt to enforce those instructions on subsequent attempts within the training session.
+  Training is interactive: tasks set `human_input = true`, so running in a non-interactive environment will block on user input.
+
+### After training completes
+
+- When `train(...)` finishes, CrewAI evaluates the collected training data per agent and produces a consolidated result containing:
+  - `suggestions`: clear, actionable instructions distilled from your feedback and the difference between initial/improved outputs
+  - `quality`: a 0–10 score capturing improvement
+  - `final_summary`: a step-by-step set of action items for future tasks
+- These consolidated results are saved to the filename you pass to `train(...)` (default via CLI is `trained_agents_data.pkl`). Entries are keyed by the agent’s `role` so they can be applied across sessions.
+- During normal (non-training) execution, each agent automatically loads its consolidated `suggestions` and appends them to the task prompt as mandatory instructions. This gives you consistent improvements without changing your agent definitions.
+
+### File summary
+
+- `training_data.pkl` (ephemeral, per-session):
+  - Structure: `agent_id -> { iteration_number: { initial_output, human_feedback, improved_output } }`
+  - Purpose: capture raw data and human feedback during training
+  - Location: saved in the current working directory (CWD)

+icon: "bolt"
+---
+
+Automation triggers enable you to automatically run your CrewAI deployments when specific events occur in your connected integrations, creating powerful event-driven workflows that respond to real-time changes in your business systems.
+
+## Overview
+
+With automation triggers, you can:
+
+- **Respond to real-time events** - Automatically execute workflows when specific conditions are met
+- **Integrate with external systems** - Connect with platforms like Gmail, Outlook, OneDrive, JIRA, Slack, Stripe and more
+- **Scale your automation** - Handle high-volume events without manual intervention
+- **Maintain context** - Access trigger data within your crews and flows
+
+## Managing Automation Triggers
+
+### Viewing Available Triggers
+
+To access and manage your automation triggers:
+
+1. Navigate to your deployment in the CrewAI dashboard
+2. Click on the **Triggers** tab to view all available trigger integrations
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/list-available-triggers.png" alt="List of available automation triggers" />
+</Frame>
+
+This view shows all the trigger integrations available for your deployment, along with their current connection status.
+
+### Enabling and Disabling Triggers
+
+Each trigger can be easily enabled or disabled using the toggle switch:
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/trigger-selected.png" alt="Enable or disable triggers with toggle" />
+</Frame>
+
+- **Enabled (blue toggle)**: The trigger is active and will automatically execute your deployment when the specified events occur
+- **Disabled (gray toggle)**: The trigger is inactive and will not respond to events
+
+Simply click the toggle to change the trigger state. Changes take effect immediately.
+
+### Monitoring Trigger Executions
+
+Track the performance and history of your triggered executions:
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/list-executions.png" alt="List of executions triggered by automation" />
+</Frame>
+
+## Building Automation
+
+Before building your automation, it's helpful to understand the structure of trigger payloads that your crews and flows will receive.
+
+### Payload Samples Repository
+
+We maintain a comprehensive repository with sample payloads from various trigger sources to help you build and test your automations:
+
+**🔗 [CrewAI Enterprise Trigger Payload Samples](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewai-enterprise-trigger-payload-samples)**
+
+This repository contains:
+
+- **Real payload examples** from different trigger sources (Gmail, Google Drive, etc.)
+- **Payload structure documentation** showing the format and available fields
+
+### Triggers with Crew
+
+Your existing crew definitions work seamlessly with triggers, you just need to have a task to parse the received payload:
+
+```python
+@CrewBase
+class MyAutomatedCrew:
+    @agent
+    def researcher(self) -> Agent:
+        return Agent(
+            config=self.agents_config['researcher'],
+        )
+
+    @task
+    def parse_trigger_payload(self) -> Task:
+        return Task(
+            config=self.tasks_config['parse_trigger_payload'],
+            agent=self.researcher(),
+        )
+
+    @task
+    def analyze_trigger_content(self) -> Task:
+        return Task(
+            config=self.tasks_config['analyze_trigger_data'],
+            agent=self.researcher(),
+        )
+```
+
+The crew will automatically receive and can access the trigger payload through the standard CrewAI context mechanisms.
+
+### Integration with Flows
+
+For flows, you have more control over how trigger data is handled:
+
+#### Accessing Trigger Payload
+
+All `@start()` methods in your flows will accept an additional parameter called `crewai_trigger_payload`:
+
+```python
+from crewai.flow import Flow, start, listen
+
+class MyAutomatedFlow(Flow):
+    @start()
+    def handle_trigger(self, crewai_trigger_payload: dict = None):
+        """
+        This start method can receive trigger data
+        """
+        if crewai_trigger_payload:
+            # Process the trigger data
+            trigger_id = crewai_trigger_payload.get('id')
+            event_data = crewai_trigger_payload.get('payload', {})
+
+            # Store in flow state for use by other methods
+            self.state.trigger_id = trigger_id
+            self.state.trigger_type = event_data
+
+            return event_data
+
+        # Handle manual execution
+        return None
+
+    @listen(handle_trigger)
+    def process_data(self, trigger_data):
+        """
+        Process the data from the trigger
+        """
+        # ... process the trigger
+```
+
+#### Triggering Crews from Flows
+
+When kicking off a crew within a flow that was triggered, pass the trigger payload as it:
+
+```python
+@start()
+def delegate_to_crew(self, crewai_trigger_payload: dict = None):
+    """
+    Delegate processing to a specialized crew
+    """
+    crew = MySpecializedCrew()
+
+    # Pass the trigger payload to the crew
+    result = crew.crew().kickoff(
+        inputs={
+            'a_custom_parameter': "custom_value",
+            'crewai_trigger_payload': crewai_trigger_payload
+        },
+    )
+
+    return result
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Trigger not firing:**
+- Verify the trigger is enabled
+- Check integration connection status
+
+**Execution failures:**
+- Check the execution logs for error details
+- If you are developing, make sure the inputs include the `crewai_trigger_payload` parameter with the correct payload
+
+Automation triggers transform your CrewAI deployments into responsive, event-driven systems that can seamlessly integrate with your existing business processes and tools.

+description: "연결된 통합에서 특정 이벤트가 발생할 때 CrewAI 워크플로우를 자동으로 실행합니다"
+icon: "bolt"
+---
+
+자동화 트리거를 사용하면 연결된 통합에서 특정 이벤트가 발생할 때 CrewAI 배포를 자동으로 실행할 수 있어, 비즈니스 시스템의 실시간 변화에 반응하는 강력한 이벤트 기반 워크플로우를 만들 수 있습니다.
+
+## 개요
+
+자동화 트리거를 사용하면 다음을 수행할 수 있습니다:
+
+- **실시간 이벤트에 응답** - 특정 조건이 충족될 때 워크플로우를 자동으로 실행
+- **외부 시스템과 통합** - Gmail, Outlook, OneDrive, JIRA, Slack, Stripe 등의 플랫폼과 연결
+- **자동화 확장** - 수동 개입 없이 대용량 이벤트 처리
+- **컨텍스트 유지** - crew와 flow 내에서 트리거 데이터에 액세스
+
+## 자동화 트리거 관리
+
+### 사용 가능한 트리거 보기
+
+자동화 트리거에 액세스하고 관리하려면:
+
+1. CrewAI 대시보드에서 배포로 이동
+2. **트리거** 탭을 클릭하여 사용 가능한 모든 트리거 통합 보기
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/list-available-triggers.png" alt="사용 가능한 자동화 트리거 목록" />
+</Frame>
+
+이 보기는 배포에 사용 가능한 모든 트리거 통합과 현재 연결 상태를 보여줍니다.
+
+### 트리거 활성화 및 비활성화
+
+각 트리거는 토글 스위치를 사용하여 쉽게 활성화하거나 비활성화할 수 있습니다:
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/trigger-selected.png" alt="토글로 트리거 활성화 또는 비활성화" />
+</Frame>
+
+- **활성화됨 (파란색 토글)**: 트리거가 활성 상태이며 지정된 이벤트가 발생할 때 배포를 자동으로 실행합니다
+- **비활성화됨 (회색 토글)**: 트리거가 비활성 상태이며 이벤트에 응답하지 않습니다
+
+토글을 클릭하기만 하면 트리거 상태를 변경할 수 있습니다. 변경 사항은 즉시 적용됩니다.
+
+### 트리거 실행 모니터링
+
+트리거된 실행의 성능과 기록을 추적합니다:
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/list-executions.png" alt="자동화에 의해 트리거된 실행 목록" />
+</Frame>
+
+## 자동화 구축
+
+자동화를 구축하기 전에 crew와 flow가 받을 트리거 페이로드의 구조를 이해하는 것이 도움이 됩니다.
+
+### 페이로드 샘플 저장소
+
+자동화를 구축하고 테스트하는 데 도움이 되도록 다양한 트리거 소스의 샘플 페이로드가 포함된 포괄적인 저장소를 유지 관리하고 있습니다:
+
+**🔗 [CrewAI Enterprise 트리거 페이로드 샘플](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewai-enterprise-trigger-payload-samples)**
+
+이 저장소에는 다음이 포함되어 있습니다:
+
+- **실제 페이로드 예제** - 다양한 트리거 소스(Gmail, Google Drive 등)에서 가져온 예제
+- **페이로드 구조 문서** - 형식과 사용 가능한 필드를 보여주는 문서
+
+### Crew와 트리거
+
+기존 crew 정의는 트리거와 완벽하게 작동하며, 받은 페이로드를 분석하는 작업만 있으면 됩니다:
+
+```python
+@CrewBase
+class MyAutomatedCrew:
+    @agent
+    def researcher(self) -> Agent:
+        return Agent(
+            config=self.agents_config['researcher'],
+        )
+
+    @task
+    def parse_trigger_payload(self) -> Task:
+        return Task(
+            config=self.tasks_config['parse_trigger_payload'],
+            agent=self.researcher(),
+        )
+
+    @task
+    def analyze_trigger_content(self) -> Task:
+        return Task(
+            config=self.tasks_config['analyze_trigger_data'],
+            agent=self.researcher(),
+        )
+```
+
+crew는 자동으로 트리거 페이로드를 받고 표준 CrewAI 컨텍스트 메커니즘을 통해 액세스할 수 있습니다.
+
+### Flow와의 통합
+
+flow의 경우 트리거 데이터 처리 방법을 더 세밀하게 제어할 수 있습니다:
+
+#### 트리거 페이로드 액세스
+
+flow의 모든 `@start()` 메서드는 `crewai_trigger_payload`라는 추가 매개변수를 허용합니다:
+
+```python
+from crewai.flow import Flow, start, listen
+
+class MyAutomatedFlow(Flow):
+    @start()
+    def handle_trigger(self, crewai_trigger_payload: dict = None):
+        """
+        이 start 메서드는 트리거 데이터를 받을 수 있습니다
+        """
+        if crewai_trigger_payload:
+            # 트리거 데이터 처리
+            trigger_id = crewai_trigger_payload.get('id')
+            event_data = crewai_trigger_payload.get('payload', {})
+
+            # 다른 메서드에서 사용할 수 있도록 flow 상태에 저장
+            self.state.trigger_id = trigger_id
+            self.state.trigger_type = event_data
+
+            return event_data
+
+        # 수동 실행 처리
+        return None
+
+    @listen(handle_trigger)
+    def process_data(self, trigger_data):
+        """
+        트리거 데이터 처리
+        """
+        # ... 트리거 처리
+```
+
+#### Flow에서 Crew 트리거하기
+
+트리거된 flow 내에서 crew를 시작할 때 트리거 페이로드를 전달합니다:
+
+```python
+@start()
+def delegate_to_crew(self, crewai_trigger_payload: dict = None):
+    """
+    전문 crew에 처리 위임
+    """
+    crew = MySpecializedCrew()
+
+    # crew에 트리거 페이로드 전달
+    result = crew.crew().kickoff(
+        inputs={
+            'a_custom_parameter': "custom_value",
+            'crewai_trigger_payload': crewai_trigger_payload
+        },
+    )
+
+    return result
+```
+
+## 문제 해결
+
+**트리거가 작동하지 않는 경우:**
+- 트리거가 활성화되어 있는지 확인
+- 통합 연결 상태 확인
+
+**실행 실패:**
+- 오류 세부 정보는 실행 로그 확인
+- 개발 중인 경우 입력에 올바른 페이로드가 포함된 `crewai_trigger_payload` 매개변수가 포함되어 있는지 확인
+
+자동화 트리거는 CrewAI 배포를 기존 비즈니스 프로세스 및 도구와 완벽하게 통합할 수 있는 반응형 이벤트 기반 시스템으로 변환합니다.

+title: "Triggers de Automação"
+description: "Execute automaticamente seus workflows CrewAI quando eventos específicos ocorrem em integrações conectadas"
+icon: "bolt"
+---
+
+Os triggers de automação permitem executar automaticamente suas implantações CrewAI quando eventos específicos ocorrem em suas integrações conectadas, criando workflows poderosos orientados por eventos que respondem a mudanças em tempo real em seus sistemas de negócio.
+
+## Visão Geral
+
+Com triggers de automação, você pode:
+
+- **Responder a eventos em tempo real** - Execute workflows automaticamente quando condições específicas forem atendidas
+- **Integrar com sistemas externos** - Conecte com plataformas como Gmail, Outlook, OneDrive, JIRA, Slack, Stripe e muito mais
+- **Escalar sua automação** - Lide com eventos de alto volume sem intervenção manual
+- **Manter contexto** - Acesse dados do trigger dentro de suas crews e flows
+
+## Gerenciando Triggers de Automação
+
+### Visualizando Triggers Disponíveis
+
+Para acessar e gerenciar seus triggers de automação:
+
+1. Navegue até sua implantação no painel do CrewAI
+2. Clique na aba **Triggers** para visualizar todas as integrações de trigger disponíveis
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/list-available-triggers.png" alt="Lista de triggers de automação disponíveis" />
+</Frame>
+
+Esta visualização mostra todas as integrações de trigger disponíveis para sua implantação, junto com seus status de conexão atuais.
+
+### Habilitando e Desabilitando Triggers
+
+Cada trigger pode ser facilmente habilitado ou desabilitado usando o botão de alternância:
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/trigger-selected.png" alt="Habilitar ou desabilitar triggers com alternância" />
+</Frame>
+
+- **Habilitado (alternância azul)**: O trigger está ativo e executará automaticamente sua implantação quando os eventos especificados ocorrerem
+- **Desabilitado (alternância cinza)**: O trigger está inativo e não responderá a eventos
+
+Simplesmente clique na alternância para mudar o estado do trigger. As alterações entram em vigor imediatamente.
+
+### Monitorando Execuções de Trigger
+
+Acompanhe o desempenho e histórico de suas execuções acionadas:
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="/images/enterprise/list-executions.png" alt="Lista de execuções acionadas por automação" />
+</Frame>
+
+## Construindo Automação
+
+Antes de construir sua automação, é útil entender a estrutura dos payloads de trigger que suas crews e flows receberão.
+
+### Repositório de Amostras de Payload
+
+Mantemos um repositório abrangente com amostras de payload de várias fontes de trigger para ajudá-lo a construir e testar suas automações:
+
+**🔗 [Amostras de Payload de Trigger CrewAI Enterprise](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewai-enterprise-trigger-payload-samples)**
+
+Este repositório contém:
+
+- **Exemplos reais de payload** de diferentes fontes de trigger (Gmail, Google Drive, etc.)
+- **Documentação da estrutura de payload** mostrando o formato e campos disponíveis
+
+### Triggers com Crew
+
+Suas definições de crew existentes funcionam perfeitamente com triggers, você só precisa ter uma tarefa para analisar o payload recebido:
+
+```python
+@CrewBase
+class MinhaCrewAutomatizada:
+    @agent
+    def pesquisador(self) -> Agent:
+        return Agent(
+            config=self.agents_config['pesquisador'],
+        )
+
+    @task
+    def analisar_payload_trigger(self) -> Task:
+        return Task(
+            config=self.tasks_config['analisar_payload_trigger'],
+            agent=self.pesquisador(),
+        )
+
+    @task
+    def analisar_conteudo_trigger(self) -> Task:
+        return Task(
+            config=self.tasks_config['analisar_dados_trigger'],
+            agent=self.pesquisador(),
+        )
+```
+
+A crew receberá automaticamente e pode acessar o payload do trigger através dos mecanismos de contexto padrão do CrewAI.
+
+### Integração com Flows
+
+Para flows, você tem mais controle sobre como os dados do trigger são tratados:
+
+#### Acessando Payload do Trigger
+
+Todos os métodos `@start()` em seus flows aceitarão um parâmetro adicional chamado `crewai_trigger_payload`:
+
+```python
+from crewai.flow import Flow, start, listen
+
+class MeuFlowAutomatizado(Flow):
+    @start()
+    def lidar_com_trigger(self, crewai_trigger_payload: dict = None):
+        """
+        Este método start pode receber dados do trigger
+        """
+        if crewai_trigger_payload:
+            # Processa os dados do trigger
+            trigger_id = crewai_trigger_payload.get('id')
+            dados_evento = crewai_trigger_payload.get('payload', {})
+
+            # Armazena no estado do flow para uso por outros métodos
+            self.state.trigger_id = trigger_id
+            self.state.trigger_type = dados_evento
+
+            return dados_evento
+
+        # Lida com execução manual
+        return None
+
+    @listen(lidar_com_trigger)
+    def processar_dados(self, dados_trigger):
+        """
+        Processa os dados do trigger
+        """
+        # ... processa o trigger
+```
+
+#### Acionando Crews a partir de Flows
+
+Ao iniciar uma crew dentro de um flow que foi acionado, passe o payload do trigger conforme ele:
+
+```python
+@start()
+def delegar_para_crew(self, crewai_trigger_payload: dict = None):
+    """
+    Delega processamento para uma crew especializada
+    """
+    crew = MinhaCrewEspecializada()
+
+    # Passa o payload do trigger para a crew
+    resultado = crew.crew().kickoff(
+        inputs={
+            'parametro_personalizado': "valor_personalizado",
+            'crewai_trigger_payload': crewai_trigger_payload
+        },
+    )
+
+    return resultado
+```
+
+## Solução de Problemas
+
+**Trigger não está sendo disparado:**
+- Verifique se o trigger está habilitado
+- Verifique o status de conexão da integração
+
+**Falhas de execução:**
+- Verifique os logs de execução para detalhes do erro
+- Se você está desenvolvendo, certifique-se de que as entradas incluem o parâmetro `crewai_trigger_payload` com o payload correto
+
+Os triggers de automação transformam suas implantações CrewAI em sistemas responsivos orientados por eventos que podem se integrar perfeitamente com seus processos de negócio e ferramentas existentes.

+      we will review the dataset for missing, inconsistent, or erroneous entries.
+      \n   - We will handle missing values by either imputing them based on surrounding
+      data or removing records where necessary.\n   - Additionally, we will standardize
+      categorical variables to ensure consistency (e.g., ensuring all location names
+      are spelled the same way).\n\n2. **Data Categorization**: \n   - Next, we will
+      categorize the data into relevant segments that will aid our analysis. \n   -
+      This involves grouping data points based on common characteristics, such as
+      demographics, time periods, or any key performance indicators (KPIs) we are
+      focusing on.\n\n3. **Trend and Pattern Identification**: \n   - With the cleaned
+      and categorized data, we will perform a detailed analysis to identify trends
+      and patterns.\n   - This will involve using statistical tools and visualizations
+      to uncover relationships within the data. We will look at time series analysis,
+      correlation coefficients, and significant outliers that may require further
+      investigation.\n\n4. **Summarizing Findings**: \n   - Finally, we will compile
+      a summary of our findings, including both qualitative insights and quantitative
+      metrics.\n   - This summary should encapsulate the key trends identified, any
+      notable patterns, and implications of these findings.\n   - We will also document
+      any limitations of the data and suggest areas for further research if necessary.\n\nBy
+      completing these steps, we will not only have a clear understanding of what
+      the data indicates but also provide actionable insights that can guide our next
+      steps. This comprehensive analysis will serve as a solid foundation for any
+      additional exploration or decision-making initiatives related to our project."}],
