Scheduler

This module sends a message at the scheduled times by matching a time pattern against the system clock (UTC wall-clock time).

The time pattern is based on the syntax used by the cron command to allow repetitive schedules to be defined by matching patterns against different time units, e.g. seconds, minutes and hours. For more information on the supported syntax see below.

This module is intended to be used at the beginning of a flow.

Settings

Basic cron syntax

The settings you enter for each of the time units is a pattern that will be matched against the actual values. The basic syntax for these patterns is:

For example, to generate a message at the top of the hour: Set Minutes=0 and leave all other patterns as *. If you only want to generate messages on working days you can add Weekdays=1-5 to the above.

With * and ranges you can also use / to specify a step, for example Minutes=*/5 means every 5 minutes.

For a full explanation of the supported syntax see here
