Schedule Trigger
Shows, as one row, what started this run and the schedule that starts the flow: a master schedule that runs it comes first, otherwise the flow's own Schedule settings.
When to use it
Use it at the start of a scheduled flow to stamp each run with when and why it ran, or to check which schedule is in charge of the flow.

A nightly run
| Triggered By | Scheduled For | Run Started | Schedule | Frequency | Next Run |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flow schedule | 2026-10-17T18:00:00.000Z | 2026-10-17T18:00:02.000Z | Flow schedule | Every day at 02:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | 2026-10-18T18:00:00.000Z |
Worth knowing
- The node has no settings of its own: set the schedule in the flow's Schedule settings or in the Scheduler, and the node shows it.
- When a master schedule runs the flow, that schedule is shown, even if the flow also has its own.
- Join it to your data to stamp every row with the run time.
