📝 Overview
In this guide, we'll walk you through an example of using a schedule trigger to start a Flowbot on the last day of each month. The Flowbot will send a reminder to ensure that attendance entries are checked and accurate for the month.
In this case, the Flowbot will trigger on the last day of the month and send a Slack notification, reminding people to review their attendance records for any errors.
