Start a workflow on demand by dropping in a video instead of waiting for a source trigger.The Manual Trigger is for workflows that should run only when you start them yourself. Use it for one-off videos, workflow tests, or any workflow that does not need to listen automatically for new YouTube, RSS, Dropbox, or livestream content.
Schema
- Input: A video you manually provide when you run the workflow
- Output: Video/clips output for the rest of the workflow
Add the node
Open Workflows from the left sidebar and click New to open the workflow builder. In the Trigger stage, choose Manual Trigger. Overlap adds the trigger node to the canvas, selects it, and moves the left panel forward to Editing so you can keep building the workflow.
Configure the trigger
The current Manual Trigger node does not have a right-side settings panel or advanced settings. Its run action appears directly on the selected node as Manual trigger - Click Run. Click Manual trigger - Click Run when you want to start the workflow with a video you choose manually.Reuse a past episode
You do not need to find or re-upload a video your workspace has already processed. On the workflow’s trigger page, click Use a recording or episode and stay on the Episodes tab to browse your episode library, newest first. (The Recordings tab starts a workflow from a studio recording.) Search by title, select one or more episodes, and click Done. Each selected episode appears under Selected media; click Get Clips to run the workflow on it. Every selected episode becomes its own run and its own new episode, and the original episode and its clips stay as they were. Some episodes cannot be run again, and the picker explains why instead of hiding them:- Uploaded files are kept for 15 days. The picker shows how long an upload has left, and once it has been deleted you need to upload the file again.
- Temporary links, such as files picked from Dropbox or downloads resolved from SharePoint or OneDrive, expire within hours. Pick the file from its source again.
