# Run a Duaer digital organization on a schedule

In Duaer, Schedule Trigger starts a digital organization on the interval you set. It keeps that clock only after you publish. Execute on the canvas runs once now and does not wait for the clock.
## Set the interval and publish

1. Add Schedule Trigger as the first node.
2. Set Trigger Interval to Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, or Custom (Cron).
3. Fill the interval. For Days, set how many days between runs and the hour.
4. Select Publish. Each time the clock hits, Duaer records one execution.

To see a result now, go back to the canvas and execute the digital organization. That run does not wait for the clock. Its mode is manual. Each scheduled production run counts as one execution. Refer to [Duaer plans and credits](/manage-cloud/plans.md).

This is the canvas schedule. A digital employee task has its own schedule. Refer to [Schedule a task for a Duaer digital employee](/advanced-ai/digital-employee-schedules.md).
## Questions

### Does Schedule Trigger in Duaer fire on the clock before you publish?

No. The node says the schedule runs after you publish. Execute on the canvas only runs once immediately.
