Workspace parameters in scheduled Automations vs. manually triggered Automations

Hi,

I’m using FME Flow 2025.2.4.

I have an FME Flow Automation which runs 4 workspaces. Each workspace takes an email address parameter (which will be the same value for each workspace).

I would like to use the same Automation to run on a bi-weekly schedule but also allow it to be run on demand via an Automation App, so I have 2 triggers: Schedule and Manual

 

When the Automation is run on Schedule it should pass a pre-defined email address to the workspaces.

When the Automation is run manually via the Automation App the user needs to be able to provide an email address at runtime.

Is this possible? Or do I need to create 2 separate Automations?

I know I can create a manual parameter that gets passed from the manual trigger to the downstream workspaces but if I configure the workspaces to use this value it won’t exist when the Automation is run on schedule.

Similarly, if I use an Automation Parameter for the workspaces when run on a schedule I can’t specify the value at runtime for the manual trigger.
