<manual>

<manual> creates a run when an operator presses Enter in an active woml run process.

Why use it

Use it for local development, demonstrations, and deliberately operator-started workflows that do not need an external ingress source.

Common use cases

  • Test a workflow interactively.
  • Run an operator-controlled local task.
  • Provide the manual trigger required by woml test.

Syntax

WOML
<triggers>
  <manual id="start" />
</triggers>

Rules and behavior

  • Only id is accepted.
  • Keyboard-created runs currently receive {} as context.payload.
  • Use --trigger <id> when a workflow has more than one manual trigger and a specific one must be selected.
