4. Initiating runs

We've defined our workflow, started the Coflux server, and started an agent. The final step is to trigger a run of our workflow.

Using the web UI​

We can do this in the web UI:

  1. Select the print_greeting workflow in the sidebar.
  2. Click the 'Run...' button.
  3. Enter your JSON-encoded name (e.g., "Joe", in quotes).
  4. Click 'Run'.

In the web UI, you'll see the run graph.

Exploring the run​

From the graph you can see the relationship between steps. You can also switch to timeline and logs views. And select steps to see details related to the specific step.

Using the CLI​

Alternatively you can trigger runs using the CLI:

coflux workflow.schedule hello.py print_greeting '"Joe"'

(Note the need to tripple-quote the argument.)

Next steps​

Congratulations on defining and starting your first run. Continue with the documentation or try defining another workflow.
