How do you trigger a workflow manually?

Q&A

We’re using workflows to trigger webhooks but testing them is very hard as there’s no way to trigger a workflow manually. How do you recommend we trigger workflows. Is there any way to trigger a workflow manually?

Thanks

Hello @gcambridge,

For triggering the workflows manually, as of now we don’t offer a solution. But we just released a new feature that allows you to Simulate your webhook events with dummy data directly from the platform.

  1. From the Homepage, click into More → Developer
  2. Inside the Developer Center, go to the Webhooks tab
  3. Configure a new Webhook
  4. Click on the title of the newly created Webhook to access it’s detailed page
  5. Inside the Webhook detailed page, go to the Events and click on it
  6. You will be able to find a button called Simulate for each event you are listening to
  7. Once you click on it, you will manually trigger this event and the information will be sent with test data

Let me know if this is helpful for your testing

@gcambridge Hi Graham, hope you’re doing well!
Just wanted to follow up on @Gabriela_Deel message to share that, in case you need additional details, you can learn more about the Webhook Event Simulation feature here.

Thanks,
