Scheduled trigger

The Scheduled Trigger runs a workflow automatically at set intervals. Use it for tasks that must occur regularly, with or without data changes.

Scheduled Trigger Configuration

How it works

  • The workflow runs at the scheduled time.
  • It runs independently of record changes.
  • It runs even if no data has changed.
  • If a scheduled time is missed (for example, during maintenance), the workflow runs one time when it can. Then it continues on its schedule. NocoDB does not replay the missed times one by one.
  • If NocoDB cannot read the schedule, it turns the workflow off and shows the reason. See Handling failures.

Use cases

  • Daily or weekly reports
  • Periodic cleanup tasks
  • Scheduled reminders or checks
  • Agents that do regular tasks

Availability

  • Available on NocoDB cloud plus plan onwards and licensed on-premise deployments.
