Timer Node

The Timer node pauses the workflow for a specified duration before continuing. Use it to introduce delays, wait for a scheduled time, or set up repeating intervals. It supports three scheduling modes: Relative (wait a set amount of time), Exact (fire at a specific time on a schedule), and Cron (advanced cron-based scheduling).

How to read settings tables

The tables below describe each configurable option as it displays in the UnqorkAI platform. Values are formatted as follows: inline code — a value to type exactly as shown | Bold — a value selected from a drop-down, radio button, tab, or choice chip | ON/OFF — toggle state | ✓ — checkbox checked | ☐ — checkbox unchecked

Settings

Relative (default): Pauses the workflow for a set amount of time before continuing.

Setting	Field	Type	Default	Description
Time Amount	timeAmount	Number input	—	The duration to wait.
Time Unit	timeUnit	Drop-down	—	The unit of time. Options include: Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, or Years.

Fires at a specific scheduled time.

Setting	Field	Type	Default	Description
Frequency	frequency	Drop-down	—	How often to fire. Options include: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
↳ Day of Week	dayOfWeek	Drop-down	—	The day to fire. Options include: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Visible when Frequency is Weekly.
↳ Day of Month	dayOfMonth	Drop-down	—	The day of the month to fire, 1 through 31, or Last Day of the Month to always fire on the final day whatever its number (Monthly only). If a selected day doesn't exist in a given month, the timer fires on the last day of that month. Visible when Frequency is Monthly or Yearly. Switching Frequency from Monthly to Yearly resets Last Day of the Month to 1, because a yearly schedule fires on a fixed date.
↳ Month	monthOfYear	Drop-down	—	The month to fire. Options include: January through December. Visible when Frequency is Yearly.
Time	time	Time input	—	The time of day to fire, in UTC.

Fires based on a cron expression for advanced scheduling.

Setting	Field	Type	Default	Description
Cron Expression	cronExpression	Text input	—	A valid cron expression defining the schedule (for example, 0 9 * * 1 runs every Monday at 9:00 AM).
