Every Hour Trigger

The Every Hour (Cron) trigger is a convenient way to schedule a workflow to run automatically every hour. This trigger allows you to set up a recurring hourly execution for your workflows, similar to a traditional cron job. It can be particularly useful for automating tasks or processes that need to be executed on an hourly basis.
