Time-Based Triggers work with existing node types to handle scenarios such as scheduled message delivery, scheduled data updates, and scheduled approval submissions. This article describes the rules for time-based triggers and explains how to configure them.

​
Steps

Follow these steps to create an integration & automation with a time-based trigger.
  1. Sign in to the YiDA workbench and click My Apps.
  2. Select the app for which you want to create an integration & automation to open the App settings page.
  3. Click Integration & Automation, then select Create Integration & Automation > Create from blank.
1

In the dialog box, enter a name for the integration & automation, select Time-Based Triggers as the trigger event, and click Confirm.

2

On the integration & automation editor page, click Time-Based Triggers. In the dialog box, configure the Start time, Repeat rule, and End time.

3

Click Save when configuration is complete.

​
Repeat Rules

Integration & automation supports the following repeat rules:
  • Trigger once only.
  • Fixed repeat rule.
  • Repeat rule based on the first trigger time of the automation.
  • Custom repeat rule: when the repeat rule is set to Custom, use Preview trigger time to verify whether the custom rule is correct.
Preview trigger time shows only the next 5 trigger times.

​
End Time

The following two end rules are supported:
  • Trigger count: the total number of times the integration & automation runs. This is unrelated to the number of nodes in the trigger flow or the recipients and groups being notified.
  • Specified time: regardless of the repeat rule, the integration & automation stops triggering once the current time reaches the specified end time.
