Schedule Trigger (Starter)

The Starter node is AgentVerse’s combined manual and scheduled trigger. In Schedule At mode it starts an orchestration automatically at a specified date and time or on a recurring schedule.

The same Starter node also supports Manual Trigger mode. See Manual Trigger.

Output Data

The Schedule Trigger outputs the scheduled execution time:

{
  "scheduledTime": "2025-03-10T09:00:00.000Z",
  "timezone": "America/New_York"
}

Timezone Behavior

All schedule times are evaluated in the configured timezone. If no timezone is set, UTC is used by default. Daylight saving time transitions are handled automatically.

Manual Trigger — Start an orchestration manually instead
Wait — Pause mid-orchestration until a specific time
