# Scheduled trigger

> Run a Workflow automatically on a recurring schedule — hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly.

Run a [Workflow](/workflows/overview) on a recurring schedule. Use this trigger for automations that should happen at regular intervals, like daily reports, weekly competitor briefs, or overnight data enrichment.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a Scheduled trigger">
    Create a new Workflow with a Scheduled trigger, or change an existing Workflow's trigger type to Scheduled.

    <Warning>Schedule times are based on your organization's configured timezone. If you're in a different timezone, account for the difference to ensure the Workflow runs at your desired local time.</Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate the trigger">
    In the Scheduled trigger block, click the toggle switch to turn it on. The Workflow will begin running at the next scheduled time.
