Cron schedule
Cron
0 0 * * *
Description
Triggers the pipeline on a cron schedule. Use as the first node in time-based automations.
When to use
Use Cron schedule when you need precise control over execution timing — for example, running a report at 08:00 on weekdays or a cleanup job on the first of every month. If you only need a fixed interval (e.g. every 10 minutes), Simple schedule is easier to configure. The cron expression follows standard five-field syntax with the schedule evaluated in UTC.

Example
Send a daily summary email every morning at 08:00 UTC. Set the Cron input to
0 8 * * * and wire the execution output to a Send email or HTTP request node.
The pipeline fires once per day at 08:00 UTC and performs whatever work is
connected downstream.
