Schedule Trigger
Whether you need to automate repetitive tasks daily, weekly, or monthly, Trigger has you covered. Simply specify the exact hour, day of the week, or day of the month you want your flow to start. You also have the flexibility to include or exclude weekends based on your specific needs.
How Does the Schedule Work?
When you choose the Webhook trigger in Flow, FLow will define an endpoint URL where the HTTP request should be sent. This URL acts as the entry point for triggering your workflow. Once a request is received at the specified endpoint, Flow will execute the steps defined in your workflow, enabling you to automate processes based on external events or actions.
Setting Up the Schedule Trigger
To set up the Schedule trigger in Flow, follow these steps:
Create a Workflow:
Log in to your AppiWorks and navigate to the Flow dashboard.
Click on "New Flow" to start creating a new workflow.
Select the Schedule Trigger:
In the Flow editor, click on the "Add Trigger" button and choose the "Shecdule" option from the available trigger types.
Configure the Schedule Trigger:
Setting Up the Schedule: When you create Flow, you can choose the "Schedule" trigger as the starting point. So that you know, you'll be prompted to define the frequency and timing for when you want the workflow to run.
Frequency Options: You can usually set the Schedule trigger to run at various frequencies, such as every day, week, or month. Also, could you please specify the exact hour, day of the week, or day of the month when you want the trigger to activate?
Weekend Options: This allows you to control whether the automation should run on Saturdays and Sundays or only on weekdays.
Timezone Considerations: When setting up the Schedule, it's essential to consider the timezone in which the automation should execute. This ensures that the workflow runs at the correct local time, no matter where you are located.
