What it does and what it's for
Automating tasks with Botize's Execute the task periodically trigger allows you to schedule actions that activate at specific dates and times, tailored to your time zone. This functionality is ideal for tasks requiring regular execution, such as sending daily reminders, generating weekly reports, or publishing monthly content.
Upon configuration, you'll receive data like the activation date, which can be integrated into your automations to further customize your workflows. With this tool, you optimize time management and ensure your tasks are performed promptly without manual intervention.
How it works
How it fits in an automated task
A Botize task pairs a trigger with one or more actions. This piece is one of them.
This is the trigger
Every time this event happens, the task kicks off on its own. You don't have to do anything.
Add one or more actions
What should happen next, in this app or in any of the 200+ connectable apps.
Turn it on and forget it
The task runs on its own from then on. If something's off, tweak it or we'll help you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I insert the current date and time into an automation?
To insert the current date or time in any part of your automation (such as in a message, title, description, or URL), you must use these special tags:
- {date} → inserts the current date (e.g., 2025-05-02)
- {time} → inserts the current time (e.g., 14:35)
These tags are automatically replaced at the time the task is executed.
Note that the time zone applied will be the one set in the first step of your automation, where the timer application is located.
