Slack – Triggers

Estimated reading time: 17 min

What will start your automation…

These Triggers will start your Flow automatically at a specific time or intervals instead of being triggered by events like Webhooks.

Run Once Tab: This tab allows you to schedule a Flow to execute a single time at a specific date and time. This is ideal for one-time operations such as data syncs, cleanups, or initial configuration steps. After execution, the schedule will be automatically cleared unless rescheduled manually.

Run Tab: This tab is used to set up repeating schedules:

  • Repeat feature: This dropdown determines how long the automation will continue repeating based on the selected frequency (Minutely or Hourly). You can choose from:
    • Repeat Forever
      • The automation will continue to run indefinitely at the defined interval (e.g. every 15 minutes).
      • No end condition is specified.
    • Repeat for (x) Times
      • You set a specific number of repetitions.
      • Requires the field Number (x) of Repeat Times to be filled (e.g. 10 times).
    • Repeat Between Start & End Dates
      • The automation will run only within a defined date range.
      • Additional fields will appear to select start and end dates.
      • Useful for limited-time schedules like campaigns or batch jobs.
  • Daily at Multiple Times: Sets the Flow to run several times per day based on a minutely or hourly interval.
  • Daily: This allows a Flow to run x times per day at a specific time.
  • Weekly: This allows you to run a Flow weekly by selecting the days and time.
  • Monthly: This will monitor your Trigger every month on a defined date and hour.
  • Yearly: This will monitor your Trigger on a specific date and hour every year.
  • Specific dates: This will start your Trigger on specific dates and time.

For more details, see Wiresk Scheduler – The Fundamentals.

After you’ve configured your Trigger parameters, select the “Use” button to fetch a live sample of data from the Trigger.

What it does:

  • Extracts real data based on your Trigger setup
  • Validates your parameters by showing if they match existing records
  • Prepares data for field mapping – the sample helps you map your Trigger output to your Method parameters in the Flow. Refer to FIELD MAPPING documentation.

Think of it as a preview step: it makes sure your Trigger is working and gives you real data to work with when setting up the rest of your flow.

Once your Flow is configured, you can test or automate it using the Run panel or by managing Triggers from the Flow Management screen.

  • Run Flow: Manually runs the Flow once using sample data. Ideal for testing logic and field mapping. See How to Run a Flow.
  • Run Scheduler: Force-runs the Trigger immediately using live input. This bypasses the recurrence rule and is useful for verifying real data mapping. Learn more in Wiresk Scheduler – The Fundamentals.

From the Trigger management panel (clock icon), you can:

  • Activate or deactivate Triggers
  • Force-run the scheduler
  • Copy Routing Keys (for HTTP Triggers)

If your Flow uses a Webhook Trigger, it runs automatically on each incoming webhook—no scheduler required. It remains active until you manually deactivate it.
