Cron trigger

A trigger that fires an agent on a cron schedule.

also known as: scheduled trigger
In depth

Cron triggers are how you turn an agent into a scheduled job. The schedule is a standard cron expression, the target is the agent to run and the message to give it. The runtime tracks the schedule, fires on time, and runs the agent to completion. No always-on process, no separate scheduler.
