Run Your First Workflow

This is part of the Charmed Temporal Tutorial. Please refer to this page for more information and the overview of the content.

Now that you have a Temporal Server up and running with a Temporal Worker connected to it, you will trigger a workflow execution and observe its result in the Web UI.

1. Create a client to trigger the workflow as defined in the worker. For instance, if you are using the Python SDK, this would look like:

from temporallib.client import Client, Options
import asyncio

async def main():
    client_opt = Options(
        host="<temporal-host-name>:7233",
        queue="<your-queue>",
        namespace="<your-namespace>",
    )

    client = await Client.connect(client_opt=client_opt)
    workflow_name = "<workflow-name>"
    workflow_id = "<workflow-id>"

    greeting = await client.execute_workflow(
        workflow_name,
        id=workflow_id,
        task_queue="<your-queue>",
    )


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

2. Install the necessary packages and run the script above as fas follows:

pip install temporal-lib-py

python workflow.py

3. Further details on the workflow execution can be viewed on the web UI.
