Manual trigger
This type of trigger is used when a flow should only run on demand. It helps guarantee human oversight as well as offer flexibility, allowing you to control flow execution as needed.
Typical use cases:
-
Runbooks and remediation steps that should only run after a person reviews the situation.
-
Building and testing a flow: start with a manual trigger to validate the flow end to end, then switch to a custom schedule or another automated trigger.
-
Occasional administrative tasks that don't follow a fixed cadence.
To start a flow with a manual trigger, select Run in the top bar of the CloudFlow editor after the flow has been published.
