# geni workflow trigger-sample (/cli/resource/workflow/trigger-sample)



```sh
geni workflow trigger-sample [id] [flags]
```

Fetches a few real records from the workflow's configured poll trigger, so you see the exact shape `input` receives before writing `main.ts` or `instructions.md`. The cloud resolves the trigger's credential and source config and returns the payloads.

Wire the trigger's credential and input values with [`config set`](/cli/resource/config) first, and publish so the trigger exists in the database.
