# Time Triggers: Adding and Setting

Next, learn how to add and configure a Time Trigger:

* [Add Time Trigger](#add-time-trigger)
  * [Settings](#settings)

### Add Time Trigger <a href="#add-time-trigger" id="add-time-trigger"></a>

To add a Time trigger, follow these steps:

1. Click on "**Start with a trigger".**
2. Click on the plus sign of the "**Time"** option. You will then open the modal to configure it and view more information.
3. This modal is divided into two areas: **Info banner** and **Settings**.

{% endhint %}

#### Settings <a href="#settings" id="settings"></a>

There are two ways to configure time triggers: for a single execution or to be executed several times, at a certain frequency and time.

Below is a step-by-step guide to configuring the type of trigger you choose:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Execute only once" %}
In the "**Execute only once"** type, below you can choose the date and time for the execution.

**Date**: To choose the date, simply click on the desired day and month.

**Time**: When you click on the Time field, a modal will appear for you to use the arrows and choose a time.

After choosing the time, click "**Ok"**.

To finalize the settings, click "**Apply"**. If necessary, click "**Clear period"** to undo the date and time choices.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Repeat" %}
In the "**Repeat"** type, you will need to make the following settings:

* **Execution frequency**: choose one of the options listed to determine the frequency of executions. For example: 30 seconds, 1 hour, etc.
* **Enable or disable the start and end day and time of the time trigger.** If you choose to enable it, you will be able to change the fields:
  * Start time
  * End time
* **Time zone**
* **Execution days**: choose the day(s) of the week to have the time trigger executed. For example: Monday to Friday.
* **Next execution**: choose the day and/or time of the next execution of the time trigger. Then click on "**Apply"**.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="CRON Expression" %}
For the "**CRON Expression**" type, the following settings are required:

<figure><img src="/files/RByy61dXkQEkBTxvz8tI" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **CRON Expression**: Enter the desired CRON expression.
* **Time Zone**: Select the appropriate time zone.
* **Next Execution**: Based on the CRON expression, the date and time of the next execution will be displayed. This field cannot be edited.

{% hint style="info" %}
The minimum execution time is every 30 seconds.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

To finalize the trigger settings, click on "**Save**".

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.skyone.cloud/english/skyone-studio/integrations/flows/triggers-of-a-flow/time-triggers-adding-and-setting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
