Manual Trigger

Use this node if you want to start a workflow by selecting Execute Workflow and don't want any option for the workflow to run automatically.

Workflows always need a trigger, or start point. Most workflows start with a trigger node firing in response to an external event or the Schedule Trigger firing on a set schedule.

The Manual Trigger node serves as the workflow trigger for workflows that don't have an automatic trigger.

Use this trigger:

• To test your workflow before you add an automatic trigger of some kind.
• When you don't want the workflow to run automatically.

Common issues

Here are some common errors and issues with the Manual Trigger node and steps to resolve or troubleshoot them.

Only one 'Manual Trigger' node is allowed in a workflow

This error displays if you try to add a Manual Trigger node to a workflow which already includes a Manual Trigger node.

Remove your existing Manual Trigger or edit your workflow to connect that trigger to a different node.
