Monthly trigger

The Monthly trigger starts a dataflow automatically based on a monthly schedule.

When to use it

Use the Monthly trigger when a dataflow needs to run on specific months, specific days of the month, or based on a recurring weekday pattern (such as the third Wednesday of the month).

Typical use cases include:

• Monthly reporting
• Periodic billing or invoicing
