Frequently Asked Questions

What is the function of the Interval node in an n8n workflow?

The Interval node serves primarily as a periodic trigger, starting your workflow repeatedly based on a fixed time span, such as every 15 minutes. It is essential for regular data checks and automated Integrations.

How do I configure the time delay for the Interval node?

You configure the time delay directly within the node settings, choosing units like seconds, minutes, or hours. This setting dictates the exact recurring time interval between workflow executions.

Can the Interval node be used to initiate Integrations with external services?

Yes. By setting the Interval node as the starting trigger, you define exactly how often n8n should run actions or pull data from external Integrations, ensuring timely data synchronization.

Is the Interval node considered a trigger node?

Absolutely. The Interval node is a fundamental time-based trigger. It is specifically designed to initiate the execution of the entire workflow, unlike functional nodes that process data mid-workflow.

What is the key difference between the Interval node and the Cron node?

The Interval node triggers workflows based on a recurring duration (relative time, e.g., run every 5 minutes), whereas the Cron node triggers based on a specific scheduled absolute time (e.g., run daily at 9:00 AM) for your Integrations.
