Every workflow starts with a trigger, the moment it springs into action. Click Add Trigger to see every kind, and hover one to read what it does. The first group fires when a record is created, updated or deleted. Pipelines has the same set, for records in your pipelines. Under Others, Launch manually lets you start it yourself, from the records you select in a table. On a schedule runs it on a timer you set. A webhook lets another app start it.
