Running Workflows

You can run a Conductor workflow in several ways:

• From the Conductor UI
• Using a schedule
• From a webhook
• From an event
• Using Conductor APIs (sending signals)
• Using Conductor SDKs (workflow as code)

The Conductor UI is typically used to run workflows during development and testing. In production, workflows can be triggered from a cron schedule, a webhook event, an event from message brokers like Kafka, or using our APIs/SDKs. The API suite contains various endpoints for starting, pausing, terminating workflows, and more. The SDK approach to running workflows is suitable for dynamic workflows.
