# Trigger
> The Trigger Action is used as a startpoint within your flows, to trigger requests either manually or on a schedule.
Boards can be triggered in two ways:
* Webhooks
* Trigger + Request
Webhooks are triggered externally - therefore Switchboard executes every time an event is received on our Listeners.
For Requests that aren't webhooks - they need to be triggered either by another Node, or by a Trigger Node.
### Configuration
The Trigger Node has two configuration options:
* **Manual** - This will trigger the Node manually, when you click the "Play" button at the top of the Board Editor.
* **Schedule** - This will trigger the Node on a schedule, based on the your configuration in the board.
### Usage
When in Scheduled mode, you can configure:
* **Start Time/Date** - The time and date to start the schedule. The formats must be the same as the default values.
* **Unit** - The unit of time to use for the schedule. Options: "Second", "Minute", "Hour", "Day", "Week", "Month".
* **Frequency** - The frequency of the schedule. For example, if you choose "2" and "Hours", the schedule will run twice
every hour.
* **Include Days** - The days of the week to include in the schedule. For example, if you choose "Monday" and
"Wednesday", the schedule will only run on those days.
