Trickle's scheduled trigger feature allows you to introduce delays and time-based logic to your workflows, as well as start workflows inside Shopify Flow based on webhooks sent from external sources.
To schedule a future trigger from within Shopify Flow, use the Schedule trigger action in one workflow to set up a trigger to run at some point in the future.
To start a workflow inside Shopify Flow from an external system, you can use Trickle's Hooks feature to receive a HTTP request sent by a third party.
In both cases, at the scheduled time Trickle will fire a "Scheduled trigger ready" trigger you can use 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. As a result of Shopify Flow's architecture, this means that the "ready" trigger could actually be one of four unique triggers:
Scheduled trigger with custom data ready;
Scheduled trigger with customer ready;
Scheduled trigger with order ready; or
Scheduled trigger with product ready.
A single "Schedule trigger" action could result in one or more of these triggers firing at the specified time.

You can use the Trigger name property to distinguish between different types of scheduled workflows. See the example below.
