Torii workflows are automatically triggered when their trigger matches the configured criteria. You can read more on how workflows are automatically triggered here.
In some cases, you might want to run a workflow manually. Here are some scenarios:
-
Testing a workflow
-
Asking a user to fill in an app security questionnaire again
-
Running a specific onboarding workflow on an employee
-
Running a license management workflow on employees who missed the trigger window

Providing trigger inputs

, a popup dialog will appear, asking to fill in the required details to trigger the workflow.

For example, when running a workflow with a User meets criteria

Click Run now
