What send schedule options are available in Automation Studio, and what is a file drop trigger?
Suggested answer
Automation Studio supports several schedule types for automations:
Scheduled: Run once, daily, weekly, or monthly at a specified time. Supports time zone selection.
File Drop (Triggered): The automation starts automatically when a specific file is uploaded to a designated SFTP folder. The file name can be an exact match or a wildcard pattern. Ideal for data-import-triggered workflows (e.g., import a new segment file and immediately send an email).
Wait Activity: Pauses the automation for a specified duration before the next step. Used to sequence activities (e.g., import, wait 15 minutes, query, then send).
Run Once: Manually triggered or scheduled for a one-time execution. Automation activities within a single run execute sequentially in defined order.
