Schedule

Default Schedule (Repeat Interval)

• Repeat Interval: Set how often to run the automation or Automation Biz. For daily execution, select 1d.

• Start: The date and time when the automation or Automation Biz should begin.

• End: The date and time when it should stop.

• Keep Running: To run the automation continuously without an end date, check the "Keep Running" box.

The schedule runs all data filtered by the applied conditions.

Schedule Setup Tip

Try using Schedule + DateTime Filter together for optimal results. If you match the schedule interval with the date/time filter, you can always process only the most recent data.

Example: Process data from the last 2 minutes only

• Filter: DateTime column → choose Minutes → set value to -2 (meaning: last 2 minutes)

• Schedule Repeat Interval: Set to every 2 minutes

With this setup, the automation will:

1. Run every 2 minutes.

2. Apply the filter to fetch only data from the last 2 minutes.

3. Process data only if any exists within that time window.

If no matching data is found during the last 2 minutes, the automation won't run.

Please set the schedule start time to a point after the current time (e.g., 5 minutes later than now). This ensures the automation is properly registered and runs as expected.

Calendar (Cron-based) Schedule

Cron expressions are used when you want to schedule automation or Automation Biz based on a calendar format. This allows for flexible and precise scheduling, such as:

• Running on a specific day of every month

• Running on a specific day of the week

• Running only on a specific month and weekday combination

Use cron expressions to define these patterns and ensure automation runs exactly when you need it.

Cron Schedule Examples

Below are examples of how to set Cron expressions under Schedule > Add Cron Expression to trigger automations on specific calendar dates and times:

Cron Expression	Explanation
0 9 3 Jan *	Runs at 9:00 AM on January 3rd every year
0 9 * * Mon-Fri	Runs at 9:00 AM every weekday (Mon–Fri)
0 9 1 * *	Runs at 9:00 AM on the 1st of every month
15 10 * * 5L	Runs at 10:15 AM on the last Friday of each month
0 12 1/5 * *	Runs at 12:00 PM every 5 days starting from the 1st of each month

You can enter these in the Cron Schedule field to automate workflows based on your business calendar needs.

You don’t need to know cron expressions. Just type a sentence into the prompt input field—AI will automatically set the correct schedule for you.

Note: You cannot use both the basic schedule (recurrence) and the calendar schedule (cron expression) at the same time. If you need different scheduling options, please create and use a separate sheet for each case.
