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.
