# Externally Triggered Workflows

Pipekit supports the ability to query your cluster for Workflows that have not been triggered by Pipekit. It will then display the workflow details in a Pipe and Runs accordingly. This feature is useful if you are just transitioning to Pipekit and you already have a preferred method of triggering Workflows, or you intend to keep using your existing method and to not use Pipekit to trigger Workflows.

## How to enable

This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, you need to modify your [pipekit-agent installation](/pipekit-agent.md#enabling-externally-triggered-workflows).

{% hint style="warning" %}
CronWorkflows are not supported by this feature.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
All users in the Pipekit Organization will see externally-triggered Workflows in the [Runs dashboard](/pipekit/runs.md) of the Pipekit UI.
{% endhint %}
