Schedule Trigger
The Trigger block schedules when the dataflow runs. It is always the last block in the configuration view, even though it controls the start of execution. Internally, the trigger is represented as a Quartz cron expression.
Block type: Schedule / Cron block
Defines the frequency at which Connect+ checks the source location for new files and executes the dataflow.
Configuration fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Trigger Frequency * | How often the dataflow should run. Selectable intervals: every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, hourly, every 6 hours, daily, weekly |
| Start Time | The time of day at which the first execution should begin (for daily and weekly schedules) |
* Required field
The Trigger block is automatically inserted by the system and does not need to be included in the payload when creating a DIY template via the API (blockTypeparameter). Passing it explicitly has no effect.
