What specifies when a schedule-triggered flow runs?

A schedule-triggered flow in Salesforce is designed to run at predetermined times and intervals, as specified by the user. This feature allows administrators to automate tasks that need to occur regularly, such as daily or weekly processing, without requiring any user intervention at the time of execution. By selecting specific times and frequencies, the flow can be tailored to meet the ongoing operational needs of the organization.

This capability is particularly beneficial for processes that require batching or routine data management, ensuring that important tasks are completed consistently and on schedule. This contrasts with options that imply event-based triggers, which are not related to schedules but rather to user actions or data changes.
