Workflow trigger#

The Workflow trigger node gets triggered when a workflow is updated or activated.

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.
