What is Schedule node?
Node in Stack AI
The Schedule node allows you to execute your workflow with a specific frequency. You can set the frequency in the node parameters.
How to use it?
Schedule node options
To utilize the Schedule node, you must setup the cadence:
- Frequency: given a timing unit (e.g., min), select the quantity by moving the bar.
- Timing: select the time unit for the node: min, hour, day, week, month.
Example of usage
A practical application of the Schedule node is to launch a process every hour. For example, you can use the Schedule node to trigger the following workflow:
- Slack node to upload a channel conversation
- An LLM to receive the information and give back the main insights from the conversation
- A Gmail node to send an email with these insights
This workflow is triggers every two weeks.
To construct this workflow, set the Schedule node to 2 and select weeks as the timing unit. Then, connect the Slack node to the LLM node and the LLM node to the Gmail node.
