Every workflow starts with a trigger. OpenOps provides multiple triggers, enabling you to start workflows upon catching a webhook, or on creation or update of a Jira Cloud issue.For many of your scenarios, you will probably use one of the triggers in the Schedule group, setting your workflows to run at a predetermined interval.The Schedule group consists of six triggers.
Use this to run your workflow exactly once an hour. By default, it only runs on weekdays, but you can optionally set it to run on Saturdays and Sundays as well:
Use this trigger with the cron syntax for custom scheduling that can’t be expressed with other triggers:For example, if you want to run your workflow every 3 hours, use the following cron expression:
Copy
Ask AI
0 */3 * * *
What if you’re based in a country that rests on Fridays but works on Sundays, and you want your workflow to run at 3 AM and 7 PM every working day? Try this cron expression:
Copy
Ask AI
0 3,19 * * 0-3,6
Note that since the properties of this trigger accept exactly one cron expression, you can’t create schedules that are defined with two or more expressions, such as scheduling every 1 hour and 30 minutes.
