# Create a workflow

1. If your Appizap Workflow Builder instance has Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and project features activated, you can choose to either create a workflow in your personal space by selecting "Home," or create a workflow within a specific project to automatically share it with other members of that project.
2. On the **Workflows** list, select **Add Workflow**.
3. Get started by adding a trigger node: select **Add first step...**

### Run workflows manually <a href="#run-workflows-manually" id="run-workflows-manually"></a>

During the building and testing phases, it may be required to manually initiate the workflow in situations where there is no trigger node present.

To run manually, select **Test Workflow**.

### Run workflows automatically <a href="#run-workflows-automatically" id="run-workflows-automatically"></a>

All new workflows are inactive by default.

In order for automatic execution, it is necessary to enable workflows that commence with either a trigger node or Webhook node. Should a workflow be inactive, it will require manual activation to run.

To activate or deactivate your workflow, open your workflow and toggle **Inactive** / **Active**. Once a workflow is active, it runs whenever its trigger conditions are met.
