Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with BriefTape and FilePost ## Triggers and actions 1 trigger · 14 actions - Trigger **New news story** Triggered when a new news story is created - Action **Find news stories by ticker** Finds the AI-summarized SEC filing news stories tagged with a stock ticker. - Action **Get story** Retrieves one news story, including its source filing link. - Action **List categories** Lists all active news story categories with their story counts. - Action **List news stories** Lists the latest AI-summarized news stories, optionally filtered by ticker or category. - Action **Create Intake Link** Creates a FilePost intake link — a public upload page you can send to someone so they can drop files to you, with your own limits on file type, size, count and how long it stays open. - Action **Delete File** Permanently deletes a file from FilePost. The stored file and its public link are removed and cannot be recovered. - Action **Delete intake link** Closes a FilePost intake link so it stops accepting uploads.
