Manual Trigger

The Manual Trigger is the simplest trigger type. Your flow only runs when you explicitly click Run Now in the flow editor or from the flows list.

Configuration​

No configuration needed. Just add the Manual Trigger node to your flow and you are good to go.

How to Run​

You can start a manually triggered flow in two ways:

  1. From the flow editor — Open your flow and click the Run Now button.
  2. From the flows list — Find your flow in the list and click its Run Now button.

Good For​

  • One-time campaigns — Send a batch of messages that you do not want on a recurring schedule.
  • Testing flows — Build and debug a flow before switching it to an automated trigger.
  • On-demand operations — Run a flow whenever you decide the time is right, rather than on a fixed schedule.

Tips​

  • Manual Trigger is a great starting point while you are building a flow. Once everything works, you can swap it out for a Schedule Trigger or Incoming Message Trigger to automate it.
  • If your flow uses a contact table, the Manual Trigger will process all contacts in that table when you click Run Now.
