Hi,

You can use this script to trigger workflow from script

Remember UI Action should be server side

triggerWorkflow();

function triggerWorkflow(){

var wf1 = new Workflow();
wf1.startFlow(wf1.getWorkflowFromName('give the workflow name'), current, 'update');

}

I would insist if possible make the workflow trigger based on the proper condition

Can a similar method be used to trigger a flow in Flow Designer?

Thank you
