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.

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 (blockType parameter). Passing it explicitly has no effect.
