Scheduler Node

Automate your workflows with precision timing. Schedule tasks, reports, and data updates to run exactly when you need them, ensuring consistent execution without manual intervention.

Precision Workflow Automation

The Scheduler Node automates the timing and frequency of workflow executions, enabling users to schedule tasks, reports, or data updates at specific intervals (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly). It ensures workflows run consistently without manual intervention, making it ideal for recurring tasks like sales reporting, SMS campaigns, or inventory checks.

Transform your business operations with intelligent scheduling that adapts to your needs. Whether you're generating daily reports, managing inventory cycles, or coordinating marketing campaigns, the Scheduler Node provides the reliability and precision your automated workflows demand.

Core Functionality

The Scheduler Node provides comprehensive automation capabilities that ensure your workflows execute with perfect timing and reliability:

Task Scheduling

Defines when workflows or specific node actions execute, providing precise control over automation timing and workflow orchestration.

Common Applications:

Daily report generation
Weekly data synchronization
Monthly analytics compilation
Custom interval executions

Frequency Control

Supports customizable intervals including hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or specific dates, offering flexible scheduling options for diverse business needs.

Common Applications:

Hourly status checks
Daily backup routines
Weekly performance reports
Custom business schedules

Automation Triggers

Initiates actions like data fetches, AI analysis, or report delivery automatically, eliminating manual intervention and ensuring consistent execution.

Common Applications:

Automated data fetching
Scheduled AI analysis
Report delivery automation
System maintenance tasks

Monitoring

Tracks scheduled task status for reliability, providing comprehensive logs and execution history to ensure workflow dependability.

Common Applications:

Execution status tracking
Performance monitoring
Error detection and logging
Success rate analytics

Configuration Guide

Setting up the Scheduler Node requires careful attention to timing and workflow integration. Follow these steps to create reliable automated schedules:

1

Adding the Node

In the Delaverse Playground, select Scheduler Node from the right-hand menu and drag it onto the canvas.
Assign a descriptive title, e.g., Daily Sales Report for sales analysis or Weekly Inventory Check for logistics.
Position the node strategically within your workflow to trigger the appropriate automation sequences.
2

Schedule Setup

Click the node to open the comprehensive configuration panel.
Set the schedule frequency: Choose from options like Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Custom (e.g., every Monday at 9 AM).
3

Connections and Integration

Input: None required, as the Scheduler Node triggers workflows independently based on time conditions.
Output: Connect to Request API node or other trigger points to initiate automated actions.
Example: In Sales Analysis workflows, connect to Request API to generate daily sales forecasts.
Ensure proper connection flow to maintain automation reliability and data consistency.
4

Testing and Monitoring

Use the Test Schedule option to simulate a scheduled run and verify configuration.
Check the node's status log to confirm execution history and identify any potential issues.
Review performance metrics and adjust scheduling parameters if needed.
Monitor initial runs to ensure proper workflow integration and expected outcomes.
5

Saving Changes

Click Save Changes to apply all scheduling configurations and parameters.
Close the editor using the top-left X button to return to the main canvas.
Verify that the schedule is active and properly integrated with your workflow system.
