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.

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.

The scheduling of automations configured to perform regular data migration looks like this:
