My pipelines are written in away that they execute when there’s a push to specific branches. Recently we needed to start pipelines manually and we found that it’s possible doing that from drone’s API [Build Create](https://docs.drone.io/api/builds/build_create/) but the problem now is that the event type is `custom` not `push` which is the reason that steps are not running. So is there someway to change the event type of a manually created build? ---

manually triggered builds will always have the `custom` event type, however, you can update your pipeline steps to accept multiple event types accordingly ```nohighlight when: event: - push - custom ``` ---

I just wanted to clarify if that is possible or not. Thanks a lot for your help.
