Trigger Node

The Trigger Node is the entry point for every workflow. It defines how your workflow is started and what initial data is available.

Overview

Every workflow begins with a Trigger Node. This node:

• Receives input data when the workflow starts
• Makes input variables available to downstream nodes
• Can be configured for different trigger types

Trigger Types

Manual Trigger

Run the workflow manually from the dashboard or API.

API Trigger

Trigger the workflow via HTTP request to receive external data.

Scheduled Trigger

Run the workflow on a schedule (coming soon).

Configuration

The Trigger Node allows you to define:

• Input Schema - Expected input variables and their types
• Default Values - Fallback values when inputs aren’t provided

Accessing Trigger Data

Downstream nodes can access trigger data using variable references:

• {{trigger.input_name}} - Access a specific input variable
• {{trigger}} - Access all trigger data as an object
