SET TRIGGER panel
Select the trigger node (dashed orange card) to open SET TRIGGER on the right:
Presets are stored as a cron expression with an optional IANA time zone (for example
Europe/Madrid). The designer shows Next run when a schedule is configured.
Under Triggers, you see which steps the timer node links to (for example Step 1). Those links are created on the canvas; the panel lists them for clarity.
For definitions that belong to a Routine record, the trigger may be read-only in the designer with a link to Edit Routine Settings. Change cron and time zone on the routine detail page in that case.
Activate schedule
When the definition has a schedule (timer node or stored cron metadata), the top toolbar shows ▶ Activate schedule instead of only Run now.
Activating or pausing the schedule does not require Bridge. Bridge is still required when a run actually dispatches tasks to agents.
Manual presets still allow Run now (or API) for an immediate run even when the schedule is paused.
Schedule types (summary)
Enable / pause (routine list)
From the routines list you can also Pause a routine — the definition stays saved but automatic runs stop until re-enabled. That is equivalent to keeping the designer schedule not Live.What triggers a run
Step dependencies
How steps link to each other (sources and destinations) is documented in Steps & activation — the same designer is used for multi-step routines and workflows.Calendar view
/projects/{projectId}/routines/calendar shows upcoming and past scheduled events for all routines in the project.
