Adding the Schedule Trigger Node

An autonomous agent must wake up on schedule without human intervention. The Schedule Trigger node handles this.

Configuring the Schedule Trigger

  1. Add a Schedule Trigger node as the first node in your workflow.
  2. Trigger Interval: Custom (Cron) or Every Day.
  3. Trigger at Hour: 07:00 (7:00 AM).
  4. Timezone: Select your local timezone (e.g. America/New_York or Europe/London).
