Schedule Connector

The Schedule connector adds a step to the flow that can be used to send messages to the next connector based on a schedule.

Key Capabilities

Time-based flow control with configurable processing intervals (minutes, hours, or days)
Batch processing control with maximum file limits per interval
Scheduled message release for controlling downstream processing timing
Support for advanced cron expressions for complex scheduling requirements

Overview

Schedule connectors are configured with an interval. The automation service processes files on the connector Transactions tab after this interval has elapsed, instead of as soon as files are detected. This allows for control over the timing of file processing.
