# Manual trigger
# Manual Trigger node
Use this node if you want to start a workflow by selecting **Test Workflow**, and don't want any option for the workflow to run automatically.
Use this node if you want to start a workflow by selecting **Test Workflow** and don't want any option for the workflow to run automatically.
Workflows always need a trigger (start point). In most cases, a trigger node starts the workflow in response to an external event. However, you still need a trigger node even when starting the workflow manually.
Workflows always need a trigger, or start point. Most workflows start with a trigger node firing in response to an external event or the [Schedule Trigger](/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.scheduletrigger/) firing on a set schedule.
The Manual Trigger node serves as the workflow trigger for workflows that don't have an automatic trigger.
Use this trigger:
* To test your workflow before you add an automatic trigger of some kind.
* When you don't want the workflow to run automatically.
## Common issues
Here are some common issues/questions and suggested solutions for the Manual Trigger node.
<!-- vale off -->
### Only one 'Manual Trigger' node is allowed in a workflow
<!-- vale on -->
This error displays if you try to add a Manual Trigger node to a workflow which already includes a Manual Trigger node.
Remove your existing Manual Trigger or edit your workflow to connect that trigger to a different node.

Add any other sections here.
You should include: quirks, pain points, complex topics that trip people up
You should not include: basic usage examples
If the node is small enough for a single page, add a subheading here for each error, quirk, pain point, or other complex topic that might trip people up. Refer to the common_issues.md template for suggested wording.
If the node is large enough to warrant subpages, create a separate Common issues page using the common-issues.md template and link to it here using this text:
