Schedule

The schedule field type allows you to define recurring operations based on time intervals. It is primarily used to configure periodic recalculations of other fields, such as triggering a specific operation every few minutes, hours, days, or weeks. This is especially useful for tasks like polling APIs, refreshing data, or automating routine updates.

A schedule is created by specifying a start date, a recurrence interval, and a time unit (such as minutes, hours, or days). You can optionally define an end date or limit the number of times the schedule should run. Once configured, the schedule field outputs a structured schedule object that the system uses to automatically trigger recalculations.

This field acts as a driver for time-based automation and is typically linked to another field whose output will be updated at the configured intervals.

In the example below, a schedule has been used to trigger the operation in the Date field with a different schedule for each record.
