Schedule Trigger

What it does

Runs the route on a schedule defined by a standard 5-field cron expression.

Configuring it

• Cron Expression — required. Standard 5-field Unix cron (minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week). Only one of day-of-month/day-of-week may be restricted at a time. You can also enter a reference to a Schedule-type workflow variable like {{variables.cronSchedule}} to control the schedule per environment from its Launch Configuration, instead of a literal expression.
• Timezone — the IANA timezone the cron expression is evaluated in. Defaults to UTC.

Examples

Every hour

{ "cronExpression": "0 * * * *", "timezone": "UTC" }

Daily at 9:00 AM in a specific timezone

{ "cronExpression": "0 9 * * *", "timezone": "America/New_York" }

Schedule controlled per environment via a workflow variable

{ "cronExpression": "{{variables.cronSchedule}}", "timezone": "UTC" }
