Manual Triggers
Manual Triggers refer to a process or mechanism where actions, such as data processing, workflow execution, or system operations, are initiated explicitly by a human user rather than automatically by a system. This contrasts with automated triggers that run based on predefined conditions like schedules or events. It is commonly used in software development, data pipelines, and DevOps practices to provide control and oversight over critical or sensitive tasks.
Developers should use Manual Triggers when they need human intervention for tasks that require approval, validation, or discretion, such as deploying to production, running batch jobs with potential side effects, or testing in controlled environments. This approach reduces risks of unintended automation errors and allows for manual checks, making it suitable for compliance-heavy industries or complex workflows where automation might be unsafe or impractical.
