Configure Workflow Query

2. Select your workflow from the dropdown and configure the parameters (if required). <img style={{ marginTop: '15px' }} className="screenshot-full img-full" src="/img/workflows/trigger-from-app/wf-query.png" alt="Configure the Query" />
3. Now, you can trigger this workflow by clicking on the Run button or using events. <img style={{ marginTop: '15px' }} className="screenshot-full img-full" src="/img/workflows/trigger-from-app/wf-eh.png" alt="Add event handler" />
