    1. Summary

    Mail is sent via automation workflow trigger

    2. Result

    A mail was successfully sent by the workflow

    3. Step by Step Guide

    Use a dialog to trigger a workflow

    Prerequisites:

    1. Your n8n workflow is ready
    2. The workflow name has no special character and it is activated
      3. image

    Steps:

    1. Create a dialog
    2. Create a form and add it to the dialog
      1. The form can include multiple data-fields, every field and value will automatically send to the n8n workflow
      2. The data is accessable via $json.body.payload.formData.[field-name]
      3. The form needs a button
        1. name of the button (object instance name) = [workflowname]
          2. ⚠️
          B1 doesn’t allow special characters within object instance names (also not “-”). So keep in mind to give the n8n workflow a name without any special character
        2. EventClick = see code below
        3. document: with this it is possible to handover documents like a word-file to the workflow
        4. formData: all data from your form
        5. myParam.workflowName: Instead of using the button-name you can hardcode the workflowname here myParam.workflowName = 'my-workflow';
        6. At the end the dialog will be closed automatically
        7. TODO: Create a message based on the response from the workflow-execution (right now: have a look to the dev-tools console)
