Triggers & schedules
Schedules, webhooks and manual or API starts, in one place.
Schedules#
Standard five-field cron with a timezone. The editor shows the prose translation and the next five fire times before you save, because a wrong digit here is the difference between every five minutes and every five hours.
Overlap policy#
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
overlap | "skip" | "queue" | "parallel"default "skip" | What happens when a run is still going at the next fire time. Skip is the safe default — queue is right for backfills, parallel only when the workflow is genuinely independent per run. |
jitter | number (seconds)default 0 | Spreads fires across a window so a hundred workspaces on 0 * * * * do not hit a provider in the same second. |
catchUp | booleandefault false | Whether missed fires during an outage run afterwards. Off by default: catching up a day of hourly runs at once is usually not what anyone wants. |
