Scheduled Trigger Activity

The scheduled trigger activity enables the automatic triggering of a workflow at predefined intervals, which you can configure within the trigger activity itself.

To create a scheduled workflow, you should choose the Scheduled option within the Create Workflow window, as depicted above.

Intervals

You can define the interval in a human-readable format, such as:

• One minute
• 1.5 minutes
• 3 days and 4 hours
• 3 days, 4 hours, and 26 seconds

The following formats are supported for intervals:

• Seconds
• Minutes
• Hours
• Days
• Weeks
• Months (assumes 30 days)
• Years (assumes 365 days)

For advanced users, there's also the option to use the cron syntax to define your interval. For example, the following syntax will trigger the workflow every minute:

0-59 * * * *

For further details on the cron syntax, you can find more information here.
