The Manual trigger executes a rule whenever the "Run" button 
is clicked. No events or schedules needed!
You can trigger a rule directly from the rule detail view or the rule navigator.
Manual trigger configuration
Run as*
Select the user that will be used to execute the rule. It can be chosen from one of the following options:
- Current user
- Selected user
The manual trigger is the best choice if you want to have full control over a rule execution. Typical use cases include recurring housekeeping tasks or one-off actions.
Can't execute the manual trigger? Make sure to check out the rule statuses page.
