# Events wake your agent

Let your agent hear when something breaks.

Ask your agent to connect your Station once. After that, a new GitHub issue or an error report from your own live site can wake it while you’re away.

## Current offer

$39/month for one Station, plus your own AI subscription. Your first hour is free, no card needed. After that, a card starts a 7-day free trial (one per customer). Checkout shows the exact date of your first charge.

## How it works

1. **Sign in to GitHub** Connect GitHub on your Station so your agent can reach the project.

2. **Wire it up once** Tell your agent what to watch and what to do, for example: “Watch new issues on acme/website and open a draft pull request for each one.” It sets up the webhook, or walks you through adding it in the repository’s settings if your GitHub account can’t manage webhooks.

3. **Let work come to you** From then on, new issues and pull requests can wake an agent. Linear can too, and so can your own app if it signs what it sends. Ask your agent to set those up. When you come back, the work is waiting for your review.

## Your agent hears about new work

A new issue, pull request or review comment can reach your Station on its own. Your agent picks it up with the context already there, and you review the result when you’re back.

## Nothing happens until you say so

A new Station isn’t connected to anything. GitHub can only reach it after you do the one-time setup, and every delivery has to be signed with your Station’s own secret, so nothing else can wake your agents. If you add the webhook by hand, keep its secret private.

## You decide what gets through

You pick which projects and events get through, and an agent’s work waits for your review like anyone else’s. Connecting GitHub doesn’t put anything into production.

## Will it work as soon as I sign up?

Not by itself. Sign in to GitHub and ask your agent to do the one-time setup first. That’s how your Station knows where work comes from.

## Does an event guarantee a completed fix?

No. It hands the job to your agent, and the agent can still finish, get stuck or have questions. You review what comes out.
