Daily trigger

The Daily trigger starts a dataflow automatically on a daily schedule. It is used to run dataflows at a fixed time every day, optionally with advanced repetition or random delay settings.

This trigger is typically used for periodic processing, synchronization tasks or reporting workflows that must run on a predictable daily cadence.

When to use it

Use this trigger when a process should run on a daily schedule, for example importing data every morning or sending a daily update.

Configuration

Setting	Required	Description
Start	Yes	The date and time when the trigger becomes active and the first execution occurs.
Recur (days)	Yes	Number of days between each execution (e.g. 1 = daily, 2 = every two days).
Repeat every	No	Enables repeated execution within the same day. The interval value supports Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, and Weeks.
For duration of	No	Defines how long the repeated executions should continue. Can be set to Indefinitely or a specific duration in Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, or Weeks.
Random delay	No	Adds a random delay before execution. The delay value supports Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, and Weeks.

Tips

• Use recur (days) = 1 for standard daily execution.
• Only enable repeat every if multiple executions per day are required.
• Avoid long repeat intervals combined with Indefinitely, unless continuous execution is intentional.
• Use a clear dataflow name so scheduled runs are easy to recognize in reports and logs.
• For high-impact flows, test the flow manually before enabling the schedule.
