I hope I am missing something here :) But in order to start/assign an automation manually…. Do I really need to duplicate the Workflow and change the trigger to manual? I can’t just assign the automation to a project? 

 

You then lose all abilities to actually use those triggers that you need. 

 

Use case: Automation starts with trigger being 1 week before session starts. If I change this to manual, I can no longer use the 1 week before to trigger any emails.

Hey ​@Naomi Sanouvong

I just spoke with our dev team and they suggested the following.

Have 2 copies of the automation - one that will be automatically triggered 1 week before session starts and one that you can trigger manually if you need it for specific cases?

Basically, one will have the "1 week before session date" trigger and one will have a manual trigger!
