Configuring manual-only triggers - Amazon CodeCatalyst

Configuring manual-only triggers

You can limit a workflow so that it can only be started manually by your team using the Run button in the CodeCatalyst console. To configure this functionality, you must remove the Triggers section in the workflow definition file. The Triggers section is included by default when you create a workflow, but the section is optional and can be removed.

Use the following instructions to remove the Triggers section in the workflow definition file so that the workflow can only be started manually.

For more information about triggers, see Starting a workflow run automatically using triggers.
