Solved: Manual trigger of workflows - Page 2

Viktor · 03-18-2020 10:00 AM

As the title suggests, I was wondering if it’s possible to manually trigger a workflow, perhaps through an action? I couldn’t seem to find anything about it.
I have a few workflows in my app that generates PDFs from different tables and rows, and it would be great if it was possible to create a new PDF manually in case one should get deleted (so in fact I don’t necessarily need to trigger the workflow, but it doesn’t seem to be possible to save files with actions). I only found one other thread here regarding manual triggers, but the questions wasn’t answered there.

Thank you in advance!
Best regards

Hi, yes it’s possible. One workaround is if you add a DateTime field to your table and the action will write NOW() into this column. Then you can write a condition rule like AND(ISNOTBLANK([PdfSent]),[_THISROW_BEFORE].[PdfSent]<>[_THISROW_AFTER].[PdfSent])
