The Execution Plan controls how your workflow runs — when it triggers, what inputs it expects, and how outputs are formatted.

Overview

Every Playbook’s Execution Plan has three configurable sections:

Triggers

Triggers define when your workflow executes.

Manual Prompt Trigger

Run your workflow on-demand by sending a message or clicking Quick Run.
Great for testing, one-off executions, or workflows that need human input to start.

Schedule Trigger

Automate your workflows to run at specific times.
ScheduleDescription
Every day at 9amDaily morning execution
Every Monday at 8amWeekly start-of-week
Every hourFrequent monitoring
First of the monthMonthly reports
All schedules use your configured timezone.

Default Input

Both Manual Prompt and Schedule triggers support Use Default Input to pre-configure values:
  • Freeform input: Set a default message text
  • Structured input: Select specific fields and set default values for each
Scheduled workflows typically use default inputs since they run without human interaction.

Input Schema

Define what data your workflow expects before execution begins.

Input Types

Accept any text input. The simplest option — just describe what you need:

Output Schema

Free-form text output. Best for summaries, reports, and natural language responses.

Running Workflows

Test Run

Click Quick Run to immediately execute your workflow. Useful for:
  • Testing changes before scheduling
  • Running outside the normal schedule
  • Debugging issues

Monitoring

After triggering a workflow:
  • View real-time execution status
  • See which agent is currently working
  • Track outputs as they’re generated
  • Review the final results
