schedule
The schedule trigger runs a pipeline on the given schedule.
Arguments
Argument | Type | Optional? | Description |
---|---|---|---|
pipeline | Pipeline Reference | Required | A reference to a pipeline resource to start when this trigger runs. |
schedule | String | Required | Schedule to run the query. This may be a named interval (hourly, daily, weekly, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 12h, 24h) or a custom schedule in cron syntax. |
args | Map | Optional | A map of arguments to pass to the pipeline. |
description | String | Optional | A string containing a short description of the step. |
documentation | String | Optional | A markdown string containing a long form description, used as documentation for the mod on hub.flowpipe.io. |
enabled | Boolean | Optional | Enable or disable the trigger. A disabled trigger will not fire, but it will retain its history and configuration. Default is true. |
param | Block | Optional | A param block that defines the parameters that can be passed into the trigger. |
tags | Map | Optional | A map of key:value metadata for the mod, used to categorize, search, and filter. |
title | String | Optional | Display title for the step. |
Parameters
One or more param blocks may optionally be used in a trigger to define parameters that the trigger accepts.
Arguments
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
default | Any | A value to use if no argument is passed for this parameter when the query is run. |
description | String | A description of the parameter. |
type | String | The data type of the parameter: string, number, bool, list, map, any (default any). |
More examples
The schedule argument may be a named interval (hourly, daily, weekly, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 12h, 24h). When using a named interval, Flowpipe will automatically jitter the time within the interval, which helps avoid resource contention.
The schedule argument may be a custom schedule in cron syntax. No jitter is added to cron schedules; they will run at the time specified.
