Node specific properties

 

Time: Specify in units how often it is the Workflow to be triggered.

Time Units: Specify the kind of time units (Seconds, minutes, etc)

 

Note: A particular case is triggering a workflow when new files are made available. In general the Watcher node is more convenient for this, but the Watcher only works for  locally mounted folders. For example, if we want a workflow to be triggered for files appearing in a remote S3 bucket then we can use an Auto Trigger node and a S3 In node in the same workflow.
