Scheduling and delaying automations runs

One of the most critical processes within Kitchnware is scheduling and delaying automations. It always happens inside of automations.

To delay automation:

Add Delay node

In the duration field, enter the delay duration in seconds

Connect the output trigger of the last node in the automation to start

Connect delayed to the input trigger of the first node in the automation

To schedule automation:

Add Delay To node

Choose weekdays when you want your automation to start in the weekdays field

Choose the time when you want your automation to start in the time field (time of your browser)

Connect start to start

Connect delayed to the input trigger of the first node
