You don't have to create a separate workflow. ``` The Workflow Trigger node gets triggered for the workflow that it gets added to. You can use the Workflow Trigger node to trigger a workflow to notify the state of the workflow. ## Node parameters The node includes a single parameter to identify the **Events** that should trigger it. Choose from these events: - **Active Workflow Updated**: If you select this event, the node triggers when this workflow is updated. - **Workflow Activated**: If you select this event, the node triggers when this workflow is activated. You can select one or both of these events. ## Templates and examples
