How to set up and use trigger

Manually start a workflow with custom inputs. Follow these steps:

  1. Add a Manual Trigger: Create a workflow with a Manual Trigger, use an existing workflow with a Manual Trigger, or change an existing workflow's trigger type to a Manual Trigger.

  2. Add input fields: Click on the "+ Add Input" button to create a new input field for your Manual Trigger. Input fields allow you to provide data that will be used throughout the workflow.

  3. Edit input field names: To change the name of an input field, click on the pencil icon next to the field. This will allow you to enter a new name that better describes the input data.

  4. Change input field type (if needed): You can choose between two types of input fields:

    • Text input: Enter text data directly into the field.

    • File upload: Upload files such as .pdfs, .doc/docx, .ppt/pptx, .xlsx/xls, and code files. These files will be automatically converted to text for use in the workflow.

  5. Remove input fields (if needed): If you have added an input field that you no longer need, click on the trash icon next to the field to delete it from your Manual Trigger.
