As the title suggests, I was wondering if itโs possible to manually trigger a workflow, perhaps through an action? I couldnโt seem to find anything about it.
I have a few workflows in my app that generates PDFs from different tables and rows, and it would be great if it was possible to create a new PDF manually in case one should get deleted (so in fact I donโt necessarily need to trigger the workflow, but it doesnโt seem to be possible to save files with actions). I only found one other thread here regarding manual triggers, but the questions wasnโt answered there.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards

Hi, yes itโs possible. One workaround is if you add a DateTime field to your table and the action will write NOW() into this column. Then you can write a condition rule like AND(ISNOTBLANK([PdfSent]),[_THISROW_BEFORE].[PdfSent]<>[_THISROW_AFTER].[PdfSent])

Thanks, Iโll check it out. However, currently, the workflow is triggered by adding a row to the table. I assume Iโll have to change this to adds AND updates? I also assume Iโll have to give [PdfSent] an initial value since it will block the first add trigger if itโs blank
Could copy your workflow and make that second one for the manual trigger while leaving the first working workflow alone.
True, that would of course also work
Yes, an initial value would be a good approach. If you donโt want to do that, you could add an OR() statement likeโฆ OR(NOT(IN([Key],TableName[Key])),โฆ)
Aleksi is correct.

I gave the [PdfSent] column an initial value and went with the condition Aleksi suggested. Thank you for your help!
