When you create a new workflow, the first step you add must be a trigger step. Triggers define how the automation starts. You can select from different trigger types, such as the schedule trigger. For this example, a manual trigger is used.
Procedure
- Log in to the automation orchestrator user interface.
- Click the
icon (Workflow Builder) to open a new canvas.
- Change the default
new-workflow name to a meaningful name that reflects its purpose.
- From the Project dropdown list, select Default, Create project, or select a project you have previously created or have access to.
- From the Add step panel on the right, select Manual trigger.
The manual trigger does not require input schema parameters, but you must still save the trigger to add it to the canvas.
Note:
Other trigger types require that you configure parameters specific to the trigger type. Webhook and Event-Driven Ansible triggers also require one or more authorized service accounts.
- Click Save in the top toolbar to save the workflow.
What to do next
Next, add steps to your workflow.
