Scripts Overview
Scripts are serverless functions that run in isolated execution environments within the Mirra platform. Scripts execute in response to manual triggers, scheduled events, or real-time events from integrated services like Telegram, Gmail, and voice calls.
What are Scripts?
Scripts provide serverless compute capabilities for automation, data processing, and integrations. Each script runs in an isolated execution environment with configurable memory, timeout, and cost controls. Scripts can be triggered manually via the SDK API, automatically by subscribing to events from integrated services, or on a schedule.
The Mirra platform supports two runtime environments: Node.js 18 with TypeScript support and Python 3.11 with modern async/await syntax. Both runtimes provide access to the Mirra SDK, which enables scripts to interact with user data, send messages, create calendar events, and call external APIs through Resources.
Scripts support version control, allowing developers to maintain multiple versions and deploy specific versions safely. Each deployment creates a new function deployment, enabling rollback and testing workflows.

When to Use Scripts
Scripts are ideal for:
- Automation - Auto-respond to messages, create reminders, log activities
- Data Processing - Transform data, aggregate information, generate reports
- Integrations - Connect external APIs, process webhooks, trigger workflows
- Event Handling - React to Telegram messages, calendar events, voice calls
- Scheduled Tasks - Run periodic jobs, health checks, data synchronization
Scripts abstract away infrastructure management, allowing developers to focus on business logic.
Runtime Environments
Node.js 18
The Node.js runtime provides TypeScript support, ES modules, and access to popular NPM packages. Scripts can import standard Node.js built-ins and common libraries like lodash, axios, and date-fns.
Python 3.11
The Python runtime provides modern Python syntax with type hints, async/await support, and access to popular pip packages including requests, pandas, and numpy.
Event-Driven Execution
Scripts automatically execute when subscribed events occur. The event subscription system supports complex filtering with field-level conditions, enabling precise control over when scripts run. For example, a script can execute only for Telegram messages containing ticker symbols, or only for calendar events with specific attendees.
Event subscriptions are created via the SDK API. See Script Events for complete documentation on available events, filtering conditions, and subscription management.
Use Cases
Automation
- Auto-respond to Telegram messages based on content or sender
- Create calendar reminders before events
- Log call summaries and transcripts to external systems
- Track ticker mentions across all communication channels
Data Processing
- Transform and validate incoming data
- Aggregate information from multiple sources
- Generate periodic reports
- Sync data between Mirra and external systems
Integrations
- Connect external APIs through Resources
- Process webhooks from third-party services
- Trigger workflows based on events
- Send notifications to multiple channels
Marketplace Publishing
Scripts can be published to the Mirra marketplace with free, pay-per-execution, or subscription pricing models. Published scripts appear in marketplace listings and can be installed by other users. The marketplace supports staff picks, trending sections, and user reviews.
