Lets assume I have a Workflow with multiple triggers.
During testing I want to be able to select which trigger is used, without disabling all other triggers.
Is there a way to define which trigger is used, when executing “Test workflow”.
Moving the preferred trigger to the top and left, does not change its priority.
My suspicion is, that the oldest trigger is being selected by default.
Information on your n8n setup
- n8n version: latest
- Database (default: SQLite): default
- n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): default
- Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): Docker
- Operating system: Ubuntu

hello @atwork1
Nope, there is no way to tell the n8n which one to use for testing

I have been putting, typically, two triggers in my workflows.
First, a manual trigger. So far, this is always the start when I press [Test this workflow].
Second, the trigger that will start the flow when automated. Most flows use an “Execute when called…” node. Some use a timed trigger.
I don’t have to test all the triggers, unless there’s a problem. But my triggers are rarely a problem.
To make sure the flow can find incoming information, I put a no-op node with all the triggers wired to its inbound port. Like so:
Now I can reference the no-op node for variables.
Let me know if that’s not clear as mud.
