Scheduler (Schedule Trigger)

Overview

The Scheduler allows you to execute workflows automatically based on time. Instead of triggering actions manually, you can schedule workflows to run once at a specific time or repeatedly at fixed intervals.

This is ideal for automation use cases such as recurring on-chain actions, periodic data fetches, routine fund transfers, or timed smart contract interactions.

What the Scheduler Does

The Scheduler acts as a time-based trigger that starts your workflow execution according to predefined rules. Once configured, it runs independently without manual intervention.

Key capabilities include:

• Delayed execution (run after a set duration)

• One-time scheduled runs

• Recurring executions at regular intervals

• Minute, hour, or day-level granularity

---

Configuration Options

1. Schedule Type

Choose how you want to define the execution time:

• Schedule In Runs the workflow after a specified duration (e.g., after 10 minutes).

• Schedule At Runs the workflow at an exact date and time.

---

2. When to Run

Defines whether the workflow executes once or repeatedly:

• Run Once Executes the workflow a single time based on the schedule.

• Repeat Every Executes the workflow repeatedly at the defined interval.

---

3. Run In (Value)

Specifies the numeric duration before execution (used with Schedule In).

Example:

• Value: 10

• Unit: Minutes

• Result: Workflow runs after 10 minutes

---

4. Unit

Defines the time unit for scheduling:

• Minutes

• Hours

• Days

---

5. Schedule Preview

Displays a human-readable summary of when the workflow will run. This helps verify your configuration before activating the schedule.

Example:

Run once in 10 minutes

Common Use Cases

• Recurring blockchain monitoring

• Delayed smart contract execution

• Automated periodic fund transfers

• Scheduled data reads or API calls

• Time-based notifications or alerts

---

Example Workflow

Scenario: Run a workflow every 10 minutes to fetch on-chain data.

• Schedule Type: Schedule In

• When to Run: Repeat Every

• Run In: 10

• Unit: Minutes

Result: The workflow executes automatically every 10 minutes.
