The most common way to run a workflow is automatically via trigger events. However, all workflows can also be triggered manually through Slack and web UI.

There are 2 ways to manually trigger a workflow in Slack.

Each workflow can be ran in Slack through a custom command. Simply key in the following command in an incident channel:

/rootly workflow custom-command

The custom command can be set for each workflow in the Slack Command field.

Ensure that you have the Slack Command as a trigger event as well.

You can also run a workflow in Slack through our built-in modal.

Each workflow can also be ran through the web UI.

First, you'll need to navigate into a specific incident and select the View Workflow Runs button on the right hand pane.

That will prompt you with a list of workflows that has already ran for the particular incident. You'll want to select the Trigger Workflow button.

You'll be presented with a list of workflows to select from. Selecting the Trigger Workflow button will trigger the workflow for the specific incident in reference.
