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.

  1. Use Manual Run as the trigger.

  2. Connect wallet, set variables, and add a fund transfer node.

  3. Click Run to execute instantly.

  4. Review logs and results.
