Triggers

A Trigger is how a Wrkflow run starts. Each trigger type defines how data enters the Wrkflow and when the process begins.

Trigger types

Choose the launch method that fits your use case:

• Manual launch — start a run from the Wrk platform UI
• Email launch — start a run by sending an email to a trigger address
• Schedule launch — start runs on a recurring or one-time schedule
• Webhook launch — start a run from a webhook URL when an external event occurs
• API — start a run programmatically
  • Sync API — call an endpoint and wait for a response from the Wrkflow
  • Async API — call an endpoint and receive an immediate launch acknowledgment
