When Started

Run the flow on clicking the start button. Good for getting started quickly.

Triggers workflow execution manually by clicking the start button in the workflow editor.

Use this trigger for testing workflows or running them on-demand without automatic triggers.

SettingNotes
Node formThis node uses the default workflow node configuration.

Starts the workflow and passes trigger context to downstream nodes when context is available.

  • No explicit credential or node dependency is declared in the node description.

Create a workflow with When Started as the first node, then connect it to the action nodes that should run after the trigger fires.

  • Check that required settings are present before running the node.
  • If the node uses browser page data, run it on the target tab after the page has loaded.
  • If it calls an external service, verify credentials, permissions, and rate limits.
  • This node has source tests; use them as the reference for edge-case behavior during maintenance.
