Workflow Trigger node#
The Workflow Trigger node gets triggered when a workflow is updated or activated.
Deprecated
n8n has deprecated the Workflow Trigger node and moved its functionality to the n8n Trigger node.
Keep in mind
If you want to use the Workflow Trigger node for a workflow, add the node to the workflow. You don't have to create a separate workflow.
The Workflow Trigger node gets triggered for the workflow that it gets added to. You can use the Workflow Trigger node to trigger a workflow to notify the state of the workflow.
Node parameters#
The node includes a single parameter to identify the Events that should trigger it. Choose from these events:
- Active Workflow Updated: If you select this event, the node triggers when this workflow is updated.
- Workflow Activated: If you select this event, the node triggers when this workflow is activated.
You can select one or both of these events.
