Learn about workflow permissions.

 

Manually run a workflow to see the results of changes you have made, 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 for selected rows only, and decide who you want to receive notifications when the workflow runs. 

  1. Select Automations > Manage Workflows.
  2. Hover over the workflow you want to run. 
  3. 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 on specific rows.
