Trigger Node

Trigger Node: Starting Your Workflow

The Trigger Node is the starting point of any workflow. It initializes the workflow by providing essential input data and setting the workflow's initial state. Configuring the Trigger Node ensures that your workflow begins with the required information, enabling smooth processing of subsequent tasks.

How to Configure the Trigger Node

  1. Access the Configuration Panel:

    • Double-click the Trigger Node on the workflow canvas to open its configuration panel on the right-hand side.

  2. Define Initial Input:

    • Select the appropriate input type based on your workflow's requirements.

    • Optionally, leave the input field empty if no initialization data is needed.

    • Input format support:

      • Text: Strings or sentences.

      • Number: Numeric values.

      • Boolean: True/False values.

      • Array: Lists of items.

      • Object: Key-value pairs or complex data structures.

      • Empty: If no input is required.

  3. Validate the Setup:

    • Ensure the input matches the expected format for downstream nodes.

Trigger Node Configuration

Best Practices

  • Provide Clear Initial Data: Ensure the input data is well-structured and relevant to your workflow's purpose.

  • Test with Sample Inputs: Validate the Trigger Node configuration by running sample data through the workflow.

  • Keep Inputs Minimal: Only include data that is essential for the workflow's initialization to avoid unnecessary complexity.
