Start nodes serve as the entry points for workflows and chatflows.
There are two types of Start nodes, each initiating your application in a different way.
- **[User Input](/en/guides/workflow/node/user-input)**: The application is initiated by direct user interaction or API calls.
- **[Trigger](/en/guides/workflow/node/trigger)** (for workflows only): The application runs automatically on a schedule or in response to a specific third-party event.
<Note>
Only applications that start with a User Input node can be published as standalone web apps or MCP servers, exposed through backend service APIs, or used as tools in other Dify applications.
</Note>
<Tip>
A single workflow can have both User Input nodes and triggers as parallel start points.
