Every Day Trigger

The Every Day (Cron) Trigger is a user-friendly way to schedule a workflow to run automatically every day at a specified time. It allows you to set up a recurring daily execution for your workflows, similar to a traditional cron job. This trigger can be particularly useful for automating routine tasks or processes that need to be executed on a daily basis.

Trigger Inputs

The Every Day (Cron) Trigger requires the following input parameters to be configured:

Time of Day

This input field allows you to select the desired time of the day when your workflow should be triggered. The options are presented in a dropdown menu.

Time Zone

In this field, you can choose the appropriate time zone for your scheduled trigger. The available time zones are listed, including popular options like UTC, America/New_York, Europe/London, Asia/Shanghai, and others.

Trigger Outputs

This trigger does not have any specific outputs since its purpose is to initiate the execution of a workflow at the scheduled time. The outputs will depend on the workflow itself and the actions it performs.
