After setting up your Flow, you can choose to:

  • “Run once”, your Flow will run only a single time. You can use this function to test your Flow. Refer to how to set up an HTTP Trigger, in the “Create a Flow” step.
  • “Run Scheduler” will automate your Flows with the recurrence rule you previously defined.


For more details, refer to How to run a Flow tutorial in our Help Center.
 
If you are using a Webhook Trigger, the Flow will initiate automatically when a webhook is received from your connected apps. This means that the Flow is automated without a scheduler and will run until you deactivate the Flow manually. Refer to Webhook documentation in our Help Center.
