Triger bot by a button

[leonyouv]

HI.

I will certainly ask a question that may seem silly to you, but I can't seem to find a clear way to trigger a bot by clicking on a button. I have created a bot to automatically generate a PDF. I have tested the bot, and it works perfectly. However, I do not want the PDF to be generated every time I insert new data or edit it. I only want the PDF to be created when I press a specific button manually.

any help will be highly appreciated thank you.

Create an action button that writes timestamp to one of your normal column with the expression NOW(). Then add a  condition like [_THISROW_BEFORE].[Timestamp]<>[_THISROW_AFTER].[Timestamp] to your Event.
