Once your Flow is configured, you can test or automate it using the Run panel or by managing Triggers from the Flow Management screen.

  • Run Flow: Manually runs the Flow once using sample data. Ideal for testing logic and field mapping. See How to Run a Flow.
  • Run Scheduler: Force-runs the Trigger immediately using live input. This bypasses the recurrence rule and is useful for verifying real data mapping. Learn more in Wiresk Scheduler – The Fundamentals.

From the Trigger management panel (clock icon), you can:

  • Activate or deactivate Triggers
  • Force-run the scheduler
  • Copy Routing Keys (for HTTP Triggers)

If your Flow uses a Webhook Trigger, it runs automatically on each incoming webhook—no scheduler required. It remains active until you manually deactivate it.
