Workflow start events
A start event is an event that starts a workflow when it occurs. When designing a workflow the first step is to configure the start event to define when the workflow will start. The workflow may be designed to start from another workflow, at a scheduled time, when a form is submitted, or from an event that occurs in a third-party application. For example, a new file in Box can kick off your Nintex workflow.
