About This Feature

Overview

On Button Click is a trigger type in WPS Office for Windows Bitable automation. It starts a workflow when a user clicks a button field in a table.

Core capabilities include:

Select the trigger condition: when you create a blank workflow, set the trigger type to On Button Click.

Capability Summary	In Bitable, you can create a blank workflow, set the trigger to On Button Click, choose the target table and button field, and add extra matching conditions.	Power Automate provides a When a row is selected trigger so users can manually run a flow for selected Dataverse rows in a model-driven app.	AppSheet supports action-button-driven data changes that can trigger backend automation after the row is updated.	Notion database buttons can run actions such as editing properties, adding pages, sending notifications, or opening pages when clicked.	Acrobat lets you add action buttons to PDF forms so a click can submit data, jump to another page, or run other PDF-form actions.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the trigger setup is centered on the table that contains the button field. Distinct: extra matching conditions can be added in the same trigger setup flow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official page focuses on manually running flows from selected rows rather than binding a trigger directly to a table button field.	Compared with WPS: Google's official examples more often use a button to change data first and then let automation react to that change, so the setup path is more indirect.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports rich button actions, but some database button actions are available only on paid plans.	Compared with WPS: Adobe's button actions are designed for PDF form interaction, not table-based workflow triggers in a database-style workspace.

Overall Conclusion
If your workflow starts from a button field inside a Bitable record, WPS provides a setup path that stays close to the table itself. Other products also support click-based or manual workflow starts, but they focus more on app actions, page automation, or PDF form interaction.
