Settings

There are two ways to configure time triggers: for a single execution or to be executed several times, at a certain frequency and time.

Below is a step-by-step guide to configuring the type of trigger you choose:

Execute only once

In the "Execute only once" type, below you can choose the date and time for the execution.

Date: To choose the date, simply click on the desired day and month.

Time: When you click on the Time field, a modal will appear for you to use the arrows and choose a time.

After choosing the time, click "Ok".

To finalize the settings, click "Apply". If necessary, click "Clear period" to undo the date and time choices.

Repeat

In the "Repeat" type, you will need to make the following settings:

• Execution frequency: choose one of the options listed to determine the frequency of executions. For example: 30 seconds, 1 hour, etc.

• Enable or disable the start and end day and time of the time trigger. If you choose to enable it, you will be able to change the fields:

  • Start time

  • End time

• Time zone

• Execution days: choose the day(s) of the week to have the time trigger executed. For example: Monday to Friday.

• Next execution: choose the day and/or time of the next execution of the time trigger. Then click on "Apply".

CRON Expression

For the "CRON Expression" type, the following settings are required:

• CRON Expression: Enter the desired CRON expression.

• Time Zone: Select the appropriate time zone.

• Next Execution: Based on the CRON expression, the date and time of the next execution will be displayed. This field cannot be edited.

The minimum execution time is every 30 seconds.

To finalize the trigger settings, click on "Save".
