Scheduled Trigger

​

When To Use

• Nightly inventory synchronization and reporting.
• Weekly policy compliance checks across all sites.

​

Configuration Checklist

1. Select schedule type (daily, weekly, monthly, cron, or interval).
2. Set schedule value according to the selected type.
3. Connect the trigger to the workflow path and enable the workflow.
4. Confirm next run behavior from execution history after deployment.

​

Inputs

• Trigger-specific configuration from the node form (for example schedule or API trigger settings).
• No upstream node input is required because this is the workflow entrypoint.

​

Outputs

• Produces the initial workflow context (the trigger payload) for downstream nodes.
• Exposes trigger/event data that subsequent actions and conditions can reference.
• Starts execution flow for connected nodes.

​

Failure Modes

• Missing or invalid trigger configuration fields.
• Workflow disabled/inactive, so the trigger does not execute.
• Event payload missing fields expected by downstream nodes.
• Permission/integration issues that prevent trigger invocation.

​

Best Practices

• Place this as the first node and connect it to the first action or condition.
• Avoid overlapping schedule windows for long workflows.
