Workflow triggers

Choose how runs begin: manual tests, scheduled cron jobs, secure webhooks, or dedicated email addresses.

Manual run

Manual

Launch from the workflow toolbar for testing changes or firing ad-hoc runs with custom payloads.

Schedule (cron)

Scheduled

Define a cron expression and timezone so runs fire automatically at predictable local times.

Webhook request

Webhook

Each workflow has a unique URL + secret query string. Add an optional schema and mock payload to validate inputs.

Inbound email

Every workflow can generate a dedicated wf_ address. Send or BCC to trigger runs and include attachments.

Each trigger supplies the initial payload that downstream actions can reference. Validate inputs with inline schemas or replay run data for debugging.
