Automations
Triggers
The ways an automation can start, and what each one hands to the first step.
Every automation needs a trigger, and it is always the first node. Some triggers hand accounts to the flow, others start it empty and leave the choosing to a Select accounts step.
An automation can have more than one trigger. When it does, Run now asks which one you want to start from.
Schedule
Runs on a recurring schedule: every day, weekly on chosen days, monthly, or a custom five-field cron expression.
Frequency is the cadence. Every day and Weekly with Specific days keep a fixed clock time on those days. Weekly with Random day picks any day Monday through Sunday in that ISO week. Monthly picks a random calendar day in that month.
Time is either an Exact time, or a Random time between From and To (inclusive, in the timezone on the node). Exact time on a random day still means: pick the day, then fire at that clock time. A random window means: pick the day (for week or month), then pick a minute in the window.
After a run, the next start is in the next period. The window must be at least 5 minutes wide and cannot wrap past midnight.
Fixed times and cron also run in that timezone, so a plan set to 09:00 stays at 09:00 for you regardless of where the servers are.
This trigger starts the run with no accounts, so the flow needs a Select accounts step to decide what it operates on.
Manual start
Runs only when you press Run now. Useful while building, and for flows you want on standby rather than on a timer.
Like the schedule trigger, it starts with no accounts.
New account added
Starts when accounts are added to your workspace, and hands those accounts straight to the flow. This is the one for onboarding: refresh details, check bans, tag them, tell yourself when they are ready.
Accounts added within 15 seconds of each other are collected into a single run, so importing a CSV of 200 accounts is one run, not 200. Larger imports are split into runs of at most 1,000 accounts.
FarmLabs drop received
Starts when a linked FarmLabs reports that a weekly drop is ready to claim, with the affected accounts already selected.
FarmLabs drop claimed
Starts when a linked FarmLabs bot claims a drop into its inventory, again with those accounts selected. Drop type narrows it to weekly drops or armory items, or leave it on all drops.
Both FarmLabs triggers only count bots synced to accounts in this workspace, and both need an active FarmLabs link. Drops reported within 60 seconds of each other are collected into one run, split at 1,000 accounts.
