Hi, Team, one more question. I want to use Siemplify to generate a daily email notification. I created a Connector that will create a Case, and the case will trigger a playbook to send out the email. I set the Connector to "Run Every 1 Days 0 Hours 0 Minutes 0 Seconds". It currently triggers at 4:27PM EDT. How do I make it to trigger at 8AM EDT instead? I tried disable the Connector and re-enable it at 8AM, but it still stick with 4:27PM. Could anyone kindly clarify how the Connector decides on the exact trigger time? Many thanks!


Hi
@Nianhua_Li
! There is a "Cron Scheduled Connector" that you can use to pick a time using Cron notation



Thanks for the prompt reply Andrew! Where can I find the "Cron Schedule Connector"?



Marketplace → Power Ups → Connectors → Cron Scheduled Connector



Thank you so much! I am able to find it now following your instructions. I had never used Power Ups. It is like a hidden treasure :)



Hmm, now that I look into the code of the cron scheduled connector, looks like it has to be scheduled to run every minute or less, and only create case if the current time matches the cron expression. Won't it create too much unnecessary traffic of I only need to trigger it once a day?



So, back to my original question: internally in Siemplify, how does it decide on the exact time on when to trigger a Connector based on the configuration "Run Every" in the connector configuration screen?
