# Launch Workflow

Start a Job or Task template right now, for one client, without waiting on a Workflow Trigger.

Most Jobs get created automatically — a Workflow Trigger fires, a Service Mapping matches a sale. **Launch Workflow** is for the rest: "start this specific client on the Review Workflow today," on demand, no trigger needed.

## Where to find it

**Quick Actions → Launch Workflow** (also reachable from a Household/Account record directly).

## How it works

1. **Pick the household.**
2. **Choose Workflow or Task mode** — a full multi-stage Job Template, or a single Task Template.
3. **Pick the template.**
4. **Preview before anything is created** — you'll see the full stage layout, which actions would fire *immediately* on creation (anything with no offset — an instant email, a first task, etc.), and who'd be assigned. Nothing is created yet at this point.
5. **Create.** The Job is seeded at the template's first stage, and any instant actions on that first stage fire straight away — correctly, unlike the older flow-based launcher this replaces, which could create a bare Job that missed its own first-stage actions entirely.

If you've used the old "Job & Task Template Launcher" before, this is its native replacement — same job, more reliable, with an actual preview step.
