Some of my use cases don’t involve a real-time trigger. I just need a story to run every hour, every day, or every week and do something like pull data, run a check, or send a report. Does Tines support scheduled execution, and how does that work in practice?
Yes, Tines has a built-in mechanism for scheduling actions that lets you run a story on any recurring schedule. You can configure it to fire at a specific time of day, on particular days of the week, or at a defined interval like every hour or every 15 minutes. The trigger simply fires on schedule and starts the story, no incoming payload needed.
Scheduled stories are commonly used for things like pulling new alerts from a SIEM on a polling interval, running daily compliance checks, sending weekly summary reports, syncing data between systems overnight, or triggering threat hunting queries on a defined cadence.
When you’re selected on the action, navigate to the “Status” tab on the panel on the right side, and then add the custom schedule you want on the bottom of the pane!
