How to use time tigger into Uipath community?

Help Something Else
1

Hello, good morning,
I am using a type of activity called TimeTigger that is used for a task to start at a certain time, but although I have already configured it with the data day and time I do not understand how to make it work and it is triggered at the time I need.

Important: I am NOT talking about Orchetrator.

Hi @melissag

If you are using the TimeTrigger activity in UiPath to schedule a task at a specific time, here are the steps to ensure it works as expected:

  1. Drag and drop the TimeTrigger activity onto your workflow.
  2. Configure the properties of the TimeTrigger activity:
  • Set the “StartTime” property to the desired start time of your task. You can specify the time using the DateTime format, for example: new DateTime(2023, 6, 1, 10, 0, 0) for June 1, 2023, at 10:00 AM.
  • Set the “RunOnce” property to False if you want the task to repeat at the specified time every day. If you set it to True, the task will run only once at the specified time.
  • Optionally, you can set the “Interval” property to specify the interval at which the task should repeat. For example, if you set it to new TimeSpan(0, 15, 0), the task will repeat every 15 minutes.
  • If you want the task to run immediately when the workflow starts, set the “RunOnStart” property to True. Otherwise, set it to False.
  1. Place the activities you want to execute within the TimeTrigger activity’s body.
  2. Save and run your workflow.

The TimeTrigger activity will execute the activities inside its body at the specified start time. If the “RunOnce” property is set to False, it will repeat the execution based on the specified interval.

Thanks!!
