Start workflows with triggers

Triggers define how and when a workflow begins execution. You can start a workflow on a schedule, in response to an external event, or manually on demand.

Every workflow must begin with exactly one trigger step. The trigger type you choose determines what initiates the workflow and what data is available to downstream steps. Automation orchestrator supports several trigger types, including scheduled, webhook, and manual triggers, so you can match workflow execution to the needs of your automation scenario.
