manually start the workflow and specify **which technology** (e.g., Shopify, WordPress, React) you're interested in searching for via BuiltWith.\n\n### \ud83d\udd39 Nodes:\n\n* **\ud83d\udd18 Manual Trigger** (`Manual Trigger`)\n \u27a4 This lets you run the workflow manually while testing or for one-time actions.\n \ud83d\udccd Tip: Great for workflows that don't need to run on a schedule.\n\n* **\ud83d\udcdd Set Technology** (`Set` Node)\n \u27a4 You manually define the **technology name** here (e.g., \"Shopify\").\n \u27a4 You can add a field like:\n\n ```json\n {\n \"technologies\": \"Shopify\"\n }\n ```\n\n \u2705 This makes the workflow dynamic \u2014 you can change the tech each time without editing multiple nodes.\n\n### \ud83d\udd30 What a beginner learns here:\n\n* How to use the **Manual Trigger** to run a test or ad-hoc job.\n* How to use the **Set Node** to insert static/custom data into the flow.\n* How workflows can be made flexible with variables like `technologies`.\n\n---\n\n" }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "a43fadd2-cf70-4f67-aa99-f513ea0e404a", "name": "Sticky Note1", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ 460, -1180 ],
