You can manually run a workflow to see the results of changes, or if you have new data and need the updates incorporated before the scheduled run time.
You can run the workflow for the entire sheet or selected rows only, and you can decide who will receive notifications when it runs.
- Select Automations > Manage automation workflows...
- Hover over the workflow you want to run.
- Select Run Now. Follow the instructions on your screen.
Things you should know
- Run Now is only available on active workflows, and it may alter your sheet data based on the actions configured in the workflow.
- Select Send notifications to myself to change who receives email and in-app notifications from the workflow. Use this setting when you don't need to notify everyone specified by the workflow. The setting applies to email and in-app notifications aren't supported for Slack or Teams alerts and document generation.
- Manually running a workflow doesn't override any scheduled workflows.
- Manually running a workflow bypasses all trigger criteria but respects workflow conditions.
- You can specify whether to run the workflow on the entire sheet or specific rows.
- Users with Editor-level permissions can only create, edit, or delete alerts or reminders if they are the recipient.
