Different ways to run a Workflow

Aside from starting Workflows from the Workflow Design pane, there are four start modes that can be enabled for a Workflow:

• Run on Demand - allows a Workflow to be run by a user from the Console, or via an API - see Run Now.
• Always On - enables a Workflow to be run continuously until it is explicitly stopped. The first step in these Workflows should be a Trigger Node. See Always On for more information.
• HTTP Binding - a third party app or service invokes the Workflow via its HTTP endpoint. See API for more information.
• MCP Tool - publishes the Workflow as an MCP tool so that an AI client can invoke it through Flowgear's MCP server. See MCP Server for more information.
