Understanding Workflow Arguments
Workflow Arguments allow to pass information to a workflow. Each workflow (template) has a set of arguments. In general there are 3 categories of arguments:
- Mandatory arguments
- Trigger specific arguments
- Additional arguments
Mandatory Arguments
All workflows must have these arguments, even if those are not used inside the workflow itself. The values for this properties are automatically set. Normally there is no need to expicitly set them.

Trigger-specific Arguments
These arguments are needed for proper inter-working with a specific trigger (e.g. Workflow Table Watcher, Folder Watcher or one of our application PlugIns).
