Add an On-Demand Trigger

Use an on-demand trigger to run a flow manually, called by other flows, or on a schedule. You can also enable a custom input schema.

1. In the flow builder, select Add Trigger. The Edit Trigger page opens.

2. In the Trigger type, choose On-Demand.

3. In the input schema type field, choose one of the following.

Select No input schema to run the flow without any additional input. If you select this option, you may add weekly or monthly schedules to run the flow by selecting Add Item in the schedules section.
Note: Times do not account for daylight saving, so you may see an hour discrepancy throughout the year.
Select Custom schema to run the flow using custom input fields. If you select this option, you must define these custom input fields using a JSON snippet.

Note: Values entered will be compared as text strings. Filters cannot contain code, such as a reference to a flow config.

For example, the following code creates the fields shown in Figure 1.

In this example, the custom input field allows you to define who you emailed and what the description says.

4. Optional: Select Add Item under Schedules to run this flow on a schedule. Alternatively, add the flow to a schedule under Jobs for additional scheduling capabilities (this option is preferred).

5. Select Save. The Edit Trigger page closes.

6. Select Save and Deploy to Staging, or select the arrow and Save Draft Version.

The trigger is added to your flow. Next, you can continue setting up your flow by adding Flow Steps.
