Initialising a process flow manually

Introduction

Typically, process flows run automatically, according to trigger shape settings. However, there may be times when you want to run a flow immediately - for example, if you're testing a new flow, or troubleshooting a sync issue.

When you run a process flow manually, you'll see each shape is animated when it's reached, and real-time logs are displayed in a side panel.

Before running a process flow manually, ensure you won't duplicate data - or cause duplication next time the process flow runs according to trigger settings.
