Introduction
The daily trigger fires an automation at a specific time every day. You can add multiple times to a single trigger, which lets you run the automation more than once per day without creating separate triggers.
ℹ️ NOTE: Adding non-manual triggers requires either admin status or a role with the Manage automations permission. If you can see the automation but can't add triggers, check your role's permissions with your admin. See Workspace → Permissions for details.
Daily Trigger
Timezone and Time
Select a Timezone from the dropdown.
Set the Time for when the trigger should fire each day.
To add more daily run times, click + Add another time and configure each one.
ℹ️ NOTE: Each time entry fires independently. Adding three times means the automation runs three times per day — once at each configured time.
Condition
You must select a condition to save the trigger. Choose All devices to run against your entire device inventory, or pick a more specific condition type to narrow the scope.
For the full condition reference, see Trigger Conditions.
Additional Options
Expand Additional options to set an optional Trigger name and toggle the trigger on or off with the Enabled switch.
Trigger name — Replaces the default label on the pipeline trigger card. Useful when an automation has multiple triggers.
Enabled — When off, the trigger won't fire. In-progress runs are unaffected.
FAQ
What happens if a device is offline when the daily trigger fires? It gets queued and will run when it comes back online. Missed fires don't stack — the device runs once when it reconnects. To exclude offline devices entirely, add a Status = Online condition. See Trigger Conditions for details.
Can I run the automation multiple times per day? Yes. Use + Add another time to add as many daily run times as you need within a single trigger.
Who can add or edit triggers on an automation? Admin users can always add triggers. Non-admin users need the Manage automations permission on their role, plus access to the automation's group. If an automation has no triggers yet, any user with group access can add the first one.
