Manual Run
The Trigger Node marks the start of any workflow.
Overview
The Manual Run trigger allows you to execute a workflow on demand with a single click. It is designed for testing, debugging, and ad-hoc executions where you want full control over when a workflow runs.
Unlike time-based or automated triggers, Manual Run only executes when explicitly initiated by the user.
What Manual Run Does
Manual Run acts as a user-initiated trigger that starts the workflow instantly when clicked. It does not rely on schedules, events, or external conditions.
Key capabilities include:
Instant workflow execution
Safe testing of nodes and integrations
On-demand execution without automation
Ideal for development and debugging workflows
How It Works
The Manual Run node appears on the canvas as a trigger.
Clicking the Run (play) button immediately starts the workflow.
All connected nodes execute sequentially based on the workflow logic.
No background or recurring execution occurs.
Configuration Options
The Manual Run trigger requires no configuration.
There are:
No time settings
No repeat intervals
No parameters
This simplicity ensures predictable, controlled executions.
Common Use Cases
Testing workflows before deployment
Debugging smart contract interactions
Triggering one-off blockchain transactions
Running ad-hoc data reads or API calls
Validating integrations and node outputs
Example Workflow
Scenario: Test a fund transfer workflow before scheduling it.
Use Manual Run as the trigger.
Connect wallet, set variables, and add a fund transfer node.
Click Run to execute instantly.
