The Schedule trigger fires at a time you define, either once or on a repeating interval. Use it for recurring automations that are not tied to a call or contact event: daily follow-up sequences, weekly check-ins, or monthly re-engagement campaigns. ## Configuration Set the date, time, and recurrence for the trigger. * **One-time:** Set a future date and time. The workflow fires once and stops. * **Recurring:** Set the interval (minutes, hours, days, weekly, or monthly) and an optional end date. The workflow fires on every interval until the end date or until you deactivate it. ## Available variables Schedule triggers do not fire on behalf of a specific contact. Use custom variables or connect downstream actions that fetch contact data from your CRM. See [Variables](/workflows/variables) for how to define custom variables. ## Use case Every Monday at 9 AM, the workflow fires, sends a Slack message to your sales team with a summary of last week's call outcomes, and posts the data to a webhook for your reporting dashboard. ## Next steps Choose what Wave Runner does after the trigger fires.
