Manual Trigger

Overview

The Manual trigger adds a simple Run button to the top of your workflow. Use it when you want to execute the workflow immediately without collecting extra data.

How It Works

• Launches the workflow using the active deployment snapshot
• Sends no payload—downstream blocks only see what they already have configured
• Perfect for quick sanity checks, smoke tests, or flows that only rely on internal variables

When to Use

• Kick off a workflow after publishing a new deployment to confirm everything still works
• Run maintenance jobs that don’t require external input
• Trigger child workflows that read state or environment variables only

Compared to Input Form

Need structured values or type validation at runtime? Switch to an Input Form trigger instead—the run panel will collect those fields before the workflow starts.
