Create a workflow
A workflow is a collection of nodes connected together to automate a process. You build workflows on the workflow canvas.
Create a workflow
- On the Workflows list, select Add Workflow.
- Get started by adding a trigger node: select Add first step...
If it's your first time building a workflow, you may want to use the quickstart guides to quickly try out n8n features.
Run workflows manually
You may need to run your workflow manually when building and testing, or if your workflow doesn't have a trigger node.
To run manually, select Test Workflow.
Run workflows automatically
All new workflows are inactive by default.
You need to activate workflows that start with a trigger node or Webhook node so that they can run automatically. When a workflow is inactive, you must run it manually.
To activate or deactivate your workflow, open your workflow and toggle Inactive / Active.
Once a workflow is active, it runs whenever its trigger conditions are met.
