Workflow Triggers

You can wait for Klarity to trigger your workflow or set your own. There are two triggers you can choose from:

  • Scan Completed: Klarity scans your cloud every 24 hours. After scanning, the workflow will start.

  • Scheduler: This is a manual method of creating your own scheduler. Here you can choose the starting date and the execution time and set it to run once or repeat it; If repeating, you will need to add an end date.
