Understanding Recurrence Trigger in scheduled cloud flow

Introduction:

Whenever we need to send reminders or perform a task on specific interval, our first thought is to have a cloud flow that triggers on the scheduled time.

To schedule a flow we use Recurrence Trigger.

As per above screenshot, our flow will trigger every 1 minute starting from the Start time mentioned[8/5/2021 4:30]. We can set the Time zone as per which we want to trigger the flow.

Interval- specify the no of times we need the flow to run in the given frequency.

Frequency- here we specify if we need the flow is run per Minute, Second, Hour, Day, Week, Month.

The above parameters are same for Frequency of Month, Minute, Second, Hour, however Day and Week have some additional parameters.

In case of week, we get to choose the flow will run on which days and what hour (both of these option are multi select dropdowns. We also need to specify a value between 0 to 59 to set the minutes.

Note: If we do not set the minutes, the flow will trigger anytime between the specified hour.

The only difference between Week and Day Frequency is you do not have to specify which days of the week.

Hope this was useful!
