A Scheduler runs a Route automatically on a recurring interval, for example every five minutes or once a day. Schedulers are the most common way to keep an integration running without manual intervention. You can manage schedulers under Integrations → Schedulers.

​
What a Scheduler Does

When a scheduler fires, it runs the Route it is attached to. This means both the Incoming and the Outgoing parts of the route are executed, in that order. For the available scheduler types and their configuration options, see the Schedulers reference.

​
Multiple Schedulers for Parallel Processing

A Route can have more than one scheduler. When you combine this with the Enable parallel processing option on the Route, each Scheduler runs as one parallel process. For the trade-offs, see the parallel processing option on the Routes page.

​
Other Ways to Trigger a Route

A Scheduler is not the only way to run a route:
  • Real-time processing on the route runs the Outgoing automatically as soon as a task is created. See the route options.
  • A Webhook can inject data directly into the Incoming configuration, creating tasks without waiting for a Scheduler.
