Scheduler / Timer Node

purpose the scheduler / timer node automates workflow execution based on time based triggers it allows your workflows to run at specific times , on a recurring schedule , or to pause until a defined timestamp — making it ideal for scheduled automation or delayed execution problem statement many workflow automations require actions to occur at precise times — daily reports, time based reminders, or conditional waiting without a scheduling system, this requires manual triggers or external cron jobs the scheduler / timer node provides a simple in platform way to manage timing logic and automation requirements before using this node the workflow must be active or published for scheduling to take effect make sure your timezone settings match your region provide valid date time formats when using variable based triggers use cases execute daily or hourly tasks such as notifications or reports pause workflow execution until a specific time or date field schedule api calls or database syncs at fixed intervals automate recurring jobs like backups, cleanups, or summary generation outcome this node allows workflows to either trigger automatically at scheduled times ( start trigger mode ) wait until a provided timestamp before continuing ( middle trigger mode ) how to use add the scheduler / timer node drag and drop the scheduler / timer node into your workflow canvas it can act as a start trigger or a middle trigger , depending on the selected scheduler mode scheduler modes a daily schedule (start trigger) this mode executes the workflow at a fixed time every day field description example scheduler enabled turns the schedule on or off ✅ enabled scheduler mode select “daily schedule (start trigger)” — execution time choose the time of day for execution 09 00 💡 example if you set 09 00, the workflow will execute every day at 9 00 am perfect for daily reports, alerts, or data refresh tasks ⏳ b wait until (middle trigger) this mode pauses the workflow until a specific date and time is reached — ideal for delayed or timed logic field description example scheduler enabled turns the timer on or off ✅ enabled scheduler mode select “wait until (middle trigger)” — datetime field name variable that holds the target time start time expected format the date/time format of your variable yyyy mm dd hh\ mm\ ss 💡 example if start time = "2025 10 18 15 30 00", the workflow will pause until 3 30 pm on october 18, 2025 , and then continue automatically
