Simple schedule
Description
Triggers the pipeline at a fixed interval (e.g. every 10 minutes). Use as the first node in time-based automations where a cron expression would be overkill.
When to use
Use Simple schedule when you want a pipeline to run repeatedly at a fixed cadence without writing a cron expression — for example, polling an API every 5 minutes or archiving data every 24 hours. For more complex timing requirements such as “every weekday at 08:00”, use Cron schedule instead.

Example
Poll an external API every 5 minutes and log the response status. Set Interval to 5
and Unit to Minutes, then wire the execution output to an HTTP request node (Method set
to GET). On the Success execution output, log a confirmation message. Wire the Error
execution output of HTTP request to a Fail or Log message node to handle failures.
