New recurring event trigger

The New recurring event trigger allows you to define the interval at which your recipe runs.

For example, you can schedule your recipe to run every 15 minutes or at a specific time, such as 9:00 AM every Monday. To use a more advanced schedule, select Custom schedule from the Time unit drop-down menu and enter a cron expression. The minimum supported interval is five minutes.
