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. The Workflow trigger node can be used to trigger a workflow to notify the state of the workflow.

Examples and templates

For usage examples and templates to help you get started, refer to n8n's Workflow Trigger integrations page.
