You can use this action to schedule a trigger to fire at some point in the future, at which point you can use one of the Scheduled trigger ready triggers to start a new workflow.
You can choose to attach a customer, order, product, or some custom data (or a combination of these) when scheduling a trigger.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Set a unique Trigger name value when scheduling your triggers, so that you can filter using a workflow condition when it fires later. This will let you use multiple scheduled triggers across all of your workflows without causing confusion.
The Trigger schedule input is quite flexible, and allows you to specify the time to schedule the future trigger in a variety of ways. Here are some examples:
"in 24 hours";
"3rd Wednesday in November";
"in 2 weekdays";
"22nd of June 2021 at 8am";
"2020-12-11 18:00:00".
Times are calculated in the timezone of the store Trickle is installed on. If the date you've specified is in the past or isn't recognised by Trickle, your scheduled trigger will still run - it will just default to running right away.
For the technically-minded among you, Trickle uses the chronic library under the hood for parsing dates, so any valid expression described in their documentation will work.
