The Scheduled Event trigger enables you to trigger a workflow at a specified date or time. This trigger is ideal when you're looking to have a workflow fire every time a specific date or time is met.

Setup

Required Fields

There are 3 required fields when setting up a Scheduled Event stage:

Field	Description
Starting on...	The date that you want the workflow to first fire on.
At...	The time you want your workflow to first fire on.
In the timezone...	The timezone that you want your workflow to fire in (this is guessed for you, however, you can change it if needed).

Optional Fields

Field	Description	Example
Repeat	Do you want your workflow to repeatedly trigger after the first trigger date specified?	`Yes`
Repeat period	What period should the workflow repeat?	`Monthly`
Repeat days	What days of the week should the workflow trigger? Note: this option is only visible when the daily period is selected.	`Monday`
Repeat every	What interval should the workflow trigger on? Note: this option is not visible when the daily period is selected.	`1 months` eg. if 'Monthly' is selected and this field is set to 2, it would trigger every other month from the 'Starting on' date.
