Scheduled runs

The channel for workflows that must fire on their own: a morning digest, a nightly export, an inbox check every hour.

Enabling it

Deploy tab → Schedule channel. The frequency comes from a builder (hourly, daily at a time, on given weekdays) or from a cron expression when you need something unusual. The timezone sits next to it, and the next fire time is displayed — check it before publishing, it is the cheapest way to catch a mistake in the expression.

The minimum interval between fires is capped by the plan: see limits, key cron_min_interval_seconds.

What reaches the graph

There is no user message here. The entry node receives the trigger context and the workflow has to fetch everything else itself: read a database, call an API, pick up files. There is also nobody to answer — the graph has to deliver its result somewhere.

What next

• Webhook — when another system triggers the run, not the clock.
• Executions — where to confirm the schedule fired.
