Can I trigger a flow manually?

Set up trigger

The trigger defines when a flow runs—usually a data table and new row or change. Each triggered row can send one email with the form link.

In the flow builder, the "Trigger" or "When" step lets you pick table and event type.

Common options: on new row, on row change. More options may exist on higher plans.

The table must exist in the workspace; its columns are used later for recipient and variables.

1. Open the flow and go to build steps.

2. Open the trigger step and select the source data table (e.g. Customers).

3. Choose the moment, e.g. "On new row" or "On change". Save.

4. Ensure the table has a column for the recipient email address.

Maintain the table via import, API, or manual entry so new rows can trigger invitations.

With "on change", the flow may run on every update—be aware with frequent edits.

No table visible: create a data table under Datatables and add columns. See Data table explained.

Trigger not firing: confirm new rows/changes and that the flow is On. See Flow debugging.

Flows are designed for automatic triggers. For one-off sends, share the form link manually (see Share a form).
