Schedule trigger
A schedule trigger starts your flow at a specific time or at regular intervals. Unlike app triggers, which depend on events in applications, schedule triggers run based on time.
When to use a schedule trigger
Use a schedule trigger when your workflow needs to run based on time.
Common examples include:
Send a daily reminder in Zoho Cliq
Create a task every day
Send a weekly email update
Post a scheduled message
How schedule triggers work
A schedule trigger runs your flow based on the time and frequency you define.
You can configure it to run:
At a specific date and time
On specific days (for example, weekdays or weekends)
Monthly or yearly schedules
Types of schedule configurations
You can choose from different scheduling options based on your requirement:
One-time schedule - Runs the flow once at a specified date and time.

You know how frequently the flow should run
