Automated Schedule

The Automated Schedule trigger runs your workflow automatically at a configured time interval. No incoming data or HTTP request is needed and the workflow fires on its own.

1. Add the Trigger

1.1 Create a workflow and click Create Trigger.

1.2 Select Automated Schedule from the trigger menu.

"Choose how to trigger your workflow" screen with the "Automated schedule" popular trigger highlighted and pointed out by an arrow.

2. Configure your Schedule

"Configure your trigger" panel for an automated schedule: cron set to Every Day at 00:00 UTC, plus Start Time date and time fields.

Fill in the following fields in the configuration panel:

Module Name: give your trigger a descriptive name. The Module ID is auto-generated from the name.

Cron Expression: choose how often the workflow runs using the visual schedule builder. Select a frequency and set the time in UTC:

Frequency options
Minute
Hour
Day
Week
Month
Year

Start Time: set the date and time (UTC) when the schedule becomes active.

Enable error handling: optionally enable error handling to control workflow behaviour if an execution fails.

3. Save the Workflow

Save the workflow to activate the schedule. The workflow will automatically run at every interval defined by your cron expression from the configured start time.
