Schedule trigger

Use schedule trigger type for integrations that should be triggered to run on a repeating interval, say once a day, or hourly etc.

Example use case:

  • data synchronizations between data sources

  • polling for data in some data source

When setting up a webhook trigger for your integration you start with the following page:

You can specify

Active From: the date and point in time from when the schedule should be active. This will also configure the time of day and minute of hour the integration will be triggered.

Interval: any combination of days, hours, minutes and seconds by which interval the integration will be triggered.

Some common example patterns are:

Active From 1/1/2024 1:00 AM

Days: 1, Hours: 0, Minutes: 0, Seconds: 0 - to run something daily at 1:00 AM

Active From 1/1/2024 1:00 AM

Days: 0, Hours: 1, Minutes: 0, Seconds: 0 - to run something hourly - on the hour

Ordered Delivery

Now select whether you want the webhook trigger to have so called Ordered Delivery or not. Ordered delivery for scheduled integrations means that no new trigger will occur as long as the previous one is still executing.

Workflow Input

Specify the message that the machine workflow of the integration expects on start, if any.
