This trigger is used to set specific times that a flow should run. This can be minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years.
NOTE: A schedule will not execute if the flow parameter is set to Required. It is waiting for the value to be set before it can run. The default value will be set after the Required validation is complete.
Additionally, if a flow starts with a reader step — such as Pass Through, JSON, Excel, etc. — the flow trigger will not execute because it is waiting for data to be read. To ensure proper execution, make sure the flow begins with a source step.
