Schedule by Zapier – scheduling your Zaps to run at intervals

The Schedule by Zapier app allows you to run a workflow at set times, such as every hour, every day at a certain time, every week on a certain day and time, or every month on a certain day and time. This is useful if you want to automate a series of repetitive tasks at specified times rather than using a traditional event in an app to trigger the workflow. This Zapier built-in app can only be used as a trigger step at the start of your workflow, replacing a traditional trigger step. When specifying times in the Schedule by Zapier app, you can use custom values in the hh:mm aa, hh:mm, or hhmm formats – for example, 1:30 pm, 13:30, or 1330.

Important note

When specifying times, your Zaps will trigger based on your account or Zap timezone settings. If no timezone has been specified, the default runtime will be UTC (GMT +00:00). Use the instructions in Chapter 1, Introduction to Business Process Automation...
