Scheduled Trigger
The Scheduled Trigger runs your workflow on a set schedule: daily, weekly, or monthly. Use it for periodic reports, batch processing, and any task that should run at regular intervals.
When to Use It
Generate weekly summary reports of social listening activity
Run batch processing on accumulated data at regular intervals
Send periodic digests to your team via email or Slack
Trigger monthly analytics workflows
How to Set It Up
Create a new workflow and select Scheduled Trigger as your trigger node
Choose a cadence: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly
Set the time you want the trigger to fire
For weekly schedules, select the day of the week
For monthly schedules, select the day of the month
Save the trigger
Warning: Scheduled triggers use your account's timezone. Make sure your timezone is set correctly in Settings before configuring schedules.
Output Variables
Variable Syntax
Reference these variables in downstream nodes:
{{ !ref($.trigger.outputs.triggeredAt) }}{{ !ref($.trigger.outputs.cadence) }}{{ !ref($.trigger.outputs.scheduledTime) }}Example Workflow
Pro tip: Use the triggeredAt variable to calculate date ranges in downstream nodes. For example, a weekly trigger can use triggeredAt to fetch data from the last 7 days automatically.
