Scheduled trigger

trigger_type: cron

Runs a workflow on a recurring schedule, defined as a cron expression. No external event needed — Flixir fires the trigger itself at the configured times.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Description
schedule	string	required	Standard 5-field cron expression (minute hour day month weekday). E.g. 0 9 * * 1 = every Monday at 9:00.
timezone	string	optional	IANA timezone the schedule is evaluated in, e.g. Europe/Berlin. Defaults to UTC.

Presets

Common schedules you can pick from directly, instead of writing a cron expression by hand:

Preset	Description	Cron expression
Every hour	Runs at the start of every hour	0 * * * *
Every day at 9:00	Runs daily at 9 AM UTC (great for morning reports)	0 9 * * *
Every Monday at 9:00	Weekly digest or report on Monday morning	0 9 * * 1
Every 15 minutes	Frequent polling — inventory checks, sync jobs	*/15 * * * *
Every day at midnight	Nightly cleanup or data archiving	0 0 * * *
1st of every month	Monthly report or billing cycle job	0 9 1 * *

When to use it

• Daily or weekly reports and digests.
• Periodic sync or cleanup jobs that don't depend on an external event.
• Polling an API on a fixed interval when no webhook is available.
