Triggers

Triggers are the entry point of every workflow. When a trigger fires, the workflow begins executing from that node. Each workflow can have exactly one trigger.

​

Manual Trigger

The simplest trigger type. No configuration required. Click Run in the editor and the workflow executes immediately. Best for workflows you want to run yourself, like one off tasks or testing. Variable name: Not applicable (no input data)

​

Input Trigger

Create a form with custom fields that must be filled out before the workflow runs. This is ideal when your workflow needs specific information each time, like a name, URL, or file. Configuration: Supported field types:

• String — Single line text
• Number — Numeric value
• Boolean — True or false toggle
• Object — JSON object
• Array — JSON array
• Files — File attachments (base64 encoded)

Accessing input data: {{inputTrigger.fieldName}}

Form Trigger

The Form Trigger creates a shareable form endpoint backed by your workflow. Use it when people outside the editor need to submit structured data. Configuration: Accessing data: {{formTrigger.fieldName}}

​

Webhook Trigger

Innflow generates a unique webhook URL for your workflow. When an external system sends a POST request to that URL, the workflow triggers with the request payload as input data. Configuration: Features:

• Copy the generated webhook URL from the configuration panel
• Pause and resume the webhook without deleting it
• Regenerate the auth token or webhook secret at any time

Accessing data: {{webhookTrigger.body.fieldName}}

​

Chat Trigger

Opens a chat window in the configuration panel where you can type messages. Each message triggers the workflow with the chat content as input. The workflow’s output is displayed back as an assistant response, creating a conversational experience. Configuration: This trigger is great for building AI powered chatbots and assistants. Each message starts a new workflow execution, and the conversation history is maintained in the chat window. Accessing data: {{chatTrigger.message}}

---

​

Schedule Trigger

Set your workflow to run automatically at fixed intervals. Choose from preset frequencies or write a custom cron expression. Configuration: Examples:

• Daily at 9:00 AM Eastern
• Every Monday at 8:30 AM UTC
• First of every month at midnight
