Schedule Triggers

Schedule triggers run a workflow at a set time using a visual builder anyone can use or advanced schedule expressions for engineers, with explicit timezones, common presets, one time runs, and a preview of the next runs before save.

How it works

Pick a schedule type, then build it with day pickers, time pickers, and frequency dropdowns while the platform composes the underlying expression. Power users can switch to the advanced editor for full schedule syntax, and both views stay in sync. Every schedule has an explicit timezone chosen from a list of city or region names, with daylight saving handled automatically. Before saving, the next run preview shows the next fire times in plain English with full date, day, time, and timezone, so a misconfigured schedule is caught at setup.

Key capabilities

• Visual schedule builder with day, time, and frequency controls, no syntax required.
• Common presets from every minute through hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly, including occurrences like first Monday or last Friday.
• Advanced schedule expressions for patterns the visual builder cannot express.
• Timezone aware scheduling with automatic daylight saving transitions.
• One time schedules that fire exactly once at a specific date and time, then go inactive.
• Next run preview showing the next several fire times in plain English.
• Missed run handling: catch up on missed runs after downtime, or skip and continue from the next scheduled time.
