Schedule Trigger

The Schedule Trigger fires the workflow automatically on a recurring schedule defined by a cron expression. It is powered by Quartz.NET.

Schedule builder​

The schedule builder offers four modes:

At an interval​

Runs the workflow every N minutes or every N hours.

  • Every X minutes — minimum interval is 5 minutes
  • Every X hours — minimum interval is 1 hour

Daily​

Runs once per day at a specific time.

  • Configure the hour and minute (24-hour format)

Weekly​

Runs at a specific time on selected days of the week.

  • Toggle individual days: S M T W T F S
  • Configure the time

Monthly​

Runs once a month at a specific time on a specific calendar day.

  • Select the day of month (1–31)
  • Configure the time

Schedule preview​

The builder shows two live previews as you configure:

  • Human-readable description — e.g. "At 09:00 AM, Monday through Friday"
  • Raw cron pattern — e.g. 0 0 9 ? * MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI

Cron patterns use the Quartz format (6 fields, starting with seconds).

Registration​

The schedule is registered with Quartz when the workflow is published. Changes to the schedule take effect on the next publish. Archiving or deleting a workflow removes the associated schedule job.

Plan limits​

Your plan may restrict the minimum cron interval (e.g. Free plans may be limited to hourly schedules). If a configured interval is below the plan minimum, publishing will fail with a validation error.
