Triggers and schedules
Choose when an automation should run and check the timezone that controls it.

choose the starting point#
An automation has a saved action and a trigger. Choose the trigger that matches the work you want to hand off.
| trigger | when to use it |
|---|---|
| Schedule | Work that should happen at a particular time or repeat on a regular cadence. |
| Puffle event | Work started by a supported event inside Puffle. |
| Webhook | Work started by a request from an external service. |
set a schedule#
Tell Puffle the cadence and timezone when saving the automation. A weekday morning in one timezone can be a different day for another teammate.
Create a weekly project update for Monday at 9 AM in Asia/Kolkata. Ask me which project and delivery destination to use first.
use an event or webhook#
A Puffle event must match an event the product supports. Use a webhook when another service needs to start the work.
The trigger supplies context for a run. Review the saved action separately so incoming data does not become an open-ended instruction to do unrelated work.
check the result#
Inspect run history after a normal trigger occurs. If it does not run, check the trigger configuration, timezone, or sender before changing the instructions.
