Manual
Learn how to use the Manual Trigger node in NocoDB workflows.
Available on NocoDB Cloud (all plans) and licensed on-premise deployments.
The Manual Trigger starts a workflow only when a user explicitly runs it. This trigger does not rely on data changes or schedules and is commonly used for testing or one-time operations.

Configuration
No additional configuration is required.
How it works
- Workflow does not run automatically
- User clicks Trigger Workflow in the floating workflow action bar to start execution
- Workflow runs once per manual invocation

Use cases
- Testing workflow logic
- One-off data updates
- Administrative or maintenance tasks
