Turn workflow starts into a flow trigger pin
Let humans kick off n8n or custom automations with a prompt and optional JSON—POST to your webhook from the pin surface.
Not every workflow should run on a cron. A flow trigger pin gives operators a Run button, optional instructions field, and JSON parameters that POST to your webhook when submitted.
Example: flow trigger pin

Getting started
Create a flow trigger pin, wire the webhook to n8n, set labels and default payload. Place it on client or ops canvases next to journal and automation schedule pins.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the prompt required?
Configurable—mark instructions required when operators must describe intent.
Can viewers trigger flows?
Follow your workspace permissions; often editors trigger, viewers read status elsewhere.
Flow trigger vs Mastra pin?
Flow trigger = generic webhook kickoff. Mastra = live Mastra workflow graph and step status.
