Run flow only on Demand via script

[ShAn21]

Hi Folks,

Is there any way we can put trigger conditions so that it never triggers by itself but only via script?

I dont wanna use 'Run Once' option. Is there any way?

Can we keep a flow in draft and then run via script? Is that possible or ay best practice constraints?

Thanks

Flow should be activated and not in draft state.

make it run once and the use below script to trigger it whenever you wish

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

Run Once will ask for a time as mandatory and as soon as its deployed it will run right if we choose past date?

I dont want it to run by itself at all.

Thanks

@ShAn21 

what's the business use-case to use flow?

[ShAn21]

Its kind of one time script to reconcile the data. Its easier to configure it via flow than a fix script.

So I have done it via flow and will run the flow via fix script as an when needed. the first time run time is still not finalized.
