Summary This paper investigates the synchronization problem of generic linear multiagent systems via integral‐type event‐triggered control. Each agent can only utilize the intermittent information of its neighboring agents in the control scheme. Based on the integral‐type event conditions, an event‐triggered control protocol is designed to guarantee the synchronization of multiagent systems, and Zeno behavior is excluded by showing the existence of a positive lower bound on the inter‐event intervals. Then, we propose the integral‐type event‐triggered control algorithms to study the leader‐following synchronization. It is shown that under the control algorithms all the followers track the leader and no Zeno behavior occurs. The effectiveness of the proposed control schemes is demonstrated by simulation examples.
