Multi-Step Workflow
typescript
import { inngest } from './client';

export const userOnboarding = inngest.createFunction(
  { id: 'user-onboarding' },
  { event: 'user/created' },
  async ({ event, step }) => {
    await step.run('send-welcome', async () => {
      await sendWelcomeEmail(event.data.email);
    });

    await step.sleep('wait-1-day', '1d');

    await step.run('send-tips', async () => {
      await sendTipsEmail(event.data.email);
    });
  }
);

Inngest's step functions make complex workflows readable.

Define a Task
typescript
import { task } from '@trigger.dev/sdk/v3';

export const sendWelcomeEmail = task({
  id: 'send-welcome-email',
  run: async (payload: { email: string }) => {
    await emailService.send({
      to: payload.email,
      template: 'welcome',
    });
    return { sent: true };
  },
});

Trigger.dev tasks are simple functions with built-in observability.

🔄 Notas de Migração

Both use TypeScript-based job definitions. Migration requires rewriting jobs in the new syntax but the patterns are similar. Consider running both in parallel during transition.
