Start Schedule is a feature in Albato that lets you choose how often you receive data.
You can only use this feature for API automations configured to perform real-time transmission or regular data migration.
To set up a schedule, click the gear icon on a card in the Automations section.
When the Automation builder page opens, click on the clock icon.
Real-time
This is the Schedule tab interface for scenarios with real-time execution:
Regularly
Between specific hours
On specific weekdays
On specific days of the month
Custom schedule
In the customizable option, you can also use the Advanced Settings to specify days of the week...
... or month to start the automation.
A common task is to schedule an automation once a day, for example, to download advertising expenses. In this case, the settings should look like this:
We schedule the automation to start once in an hour (60 minutes) and specify the time range from 00:00 to 01:00. The rest of the time, the automation will be stopped.
Regular data migration
The scheduling of automations configured to perform regular data migration looks like this:
Between specific hours
On specific weekdays
On specific days of the month
A example of task is to schedule transfer data for a past period, like 5 days, to download advertising expenses. In this case, the settings should look like this:
We schedule the automation to run in a specific time range, from 00:00 to 01:00. The rest of the time, the automation will be stopped.
