What It Does

Complete guide to event-driven agent triggering: polling strategies (simple interval, exponential backoff, conditional polling), webhook receiver setup (FastAPI/Flask endpoints, signature verification, retry acknowledgment), webhook vs polling decision framework, and patterns for idempotent event processing. Covers ngrok for local webhook testing, common webhook providers (Stripe, GitHub, Shopify), and queue-based decoupling for high-volume events.

Proof + refund policy (plain language)

We try to make it obvious what you’re buying, and keep the risk low.

  • Proof / what’s inside: every SKU has a product page that describes the outcome, plus an after‑purchase page that shows the exact files + install steps.
  • Delivery: after Stripe checkout, you get a download page link. No account required.
  • Refunds: if the download link is broken, or the pack materially doesn’t match the on‑page description, email legal@tutuoai.com within 7 days for a full refund.

(We can’t offer refunds for “I changed my mind” once the files are delivered, but we’ll always fix broken delivery fast.)

Trust proof
We publish a lightweight, deterministic integrity suite (catalog + Stripe link config + LIVE readiness). View latest integrity report.
