Creates on-demand executable branches that run ONLY when manually clicked, never during automatic workflow execution. Nodes connected to this trigger are excluded from main workflow runs (scheduler, manual run, other triggers) and execute in isolation when the button is clicked.

​
Key Features

  • On-demand execution: Branches connected to Button Trigger only run when the button is manually clicked
  • Isolated execution: These branches are completely excluded from main workflow runs
  • Multiple triggers: You can have multiple Button Triggers in the same workflow for different on-demand actions
  • No automatic execution: Will never run via scheduler, main run button, or other triggers

​
When to Use Button Trigger

Button Triggers are perfect for scenarios where you need manual control over certain workflow branches:
  • Template creation: Run a branch once to create templates or initial setup
  • Manual evaluations: Wait for manual review before proceeding (e.g., evaluate search terms in Google Sheets, then push negative terms to Google Ads when ready)
  • Conditional actions: Execute actions that require human judgment or timing

​
Important Behavior

​
Excluded from Main Execution

Branches connected to Button Trigger will NOT run when you:
  • Click the main “Run” button in the top-right corner
  • Use the scheduler to run the workflow automatically
  • Trigger the workflow through other triggers

​
Manual Execution Only

These branches will ONLY run when you:
  • Click the specific Button Trigger node in your workflow
  • The execution runs in complete isolation from the main workflow

​
Example Use Cases

​
Search Terms Evaluation

  1. Main workflow gets search terms data
  2. Exports terms to Google Sheets for manual review
  3. Button Trigger branch waits for your review
  4. After evaluation, click the Button Trigger to push negative terms to Google Ads

​
Template Setup

  1. Main workflow handles regular data processing
  2. Button Trigger branch creates initial templates or configurations
  3. Run once when setting up, then leave dormant

​
Configuration

The Button Trigger node requires no configuration - simply:
  1. Add the Button Trigger node to your workflow
  2. Connect the nodes you want to run on-demand to its output
  3. Click the Button Trigger when you want to execute that branch

​
Credits Cost

  • Cost: 0 credits
Button Trigger itself consumes no credits, but connected nodes will use their respective credits when executed

​
Tips

  • Consider using Note nodes to document what each Button Trigger branch does
  • Multiple Button Triggers can coexist in the same workflow for different purposes
  • Remember that Button Trigger branches are completely separate from your main workflow execution
