Manual Trigger (Starter)

The Starter node is AgentVerse’s combined manual and scheduled trigger. In Manual Trigger mode it starts an orchestration immediately when you click Trigger Now from the canvas — used for testing, on-demand tasks, and orchestrations that do not need to respond to an event.

The same Starter node also supports Schedule At mode. See Schedule Trigger.

Use Cases

Test an orchestration during development
Run one-off data processing tasks on demand
Trigger workflows that take user-uploaded files as input

Node Reference

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
Trigger Mode	Select	Set to `Manual Trigger` to enable on-demand execution
Upload Data Files	Files	Optional XLSX, CSV, or JSON files to inject as input data

There are no required parameters. Click Trigger Now on the node canvas to execute immediately, or use Test (N Records) to run with a preview of your uploaded data.

How It Works

When you click Trigger Now on the Starter node:

AgentVerse creates a new Orchestration Run immediately.
Any uploaded files (XLSX, CSV, JSON) are parsed and injected as the trigger output.
Execution proceeds through all downstream nodes.
The run result appears in the Orchestration Runs panel in real time.

Output Data

When no files are uploaded, the output is a minimal execution context:

{
  "executionMode": "manual",
  "triggeredAt": "2025-03-10T09:00:00.000Z"
}

When files are uploaded, each file is available as a binary item:

{
  "binary": {
    "file": {
      "data": "<base64>",
      "mimeType": "application/pdf",
      "fileName": "report.pdf"
    }
  }
}

Testing vs. Production

Mode	Description
Test Mode	Run the orchestration from the canvas editor. Uses test data and does not count toward production run limits.
Production Run	Triggered by activating the orchestration and clicking Run from the runs list. Uses live credentials and counts as a production execution.

Schedule Trigger — Run automatically on a time-based schedule
Webhook Trigger — Trigger from an external HTTP event
