    Workflow - running workflows without using alters.

    Is there a way to run the workflow without using alerts? Currently, the workflows I have run great, but I have to link them to alerts. Alerts limit me to just three options:

    1. When value is created
    2. When value changes
    3. When value is deleted

    If I just want to run the code, there is no option (or I can't find it) for that scenario. Please advise.

      You can have a schedule start (run every morning at 9am, for example) or you can have any external trigger. A button on a dashboard, you going a pressing "start" on the workflow, etc…

      You can go to your alert driven workflow, and just hit the play button.

      Thanks. If I just execute the workflow it asks for the input, where it should not as my workflow loops and goes through the process on it's own when ran via alert.

      That's because your workflow is configured with a required start parameter. If you want the workflow to go get the parameters on it's own, you'll need a version of the workflow that doesn't have a required start parameter, but has an added task to to query a dataset (or something) to get the list of items you want it to take action on.
