## Example Configurations

Triggers are configured via the triggers.json of your application. The following are some example configuration of the Timer Trigger.

### Only once and immediate
Configure the Trigger to run a flow immediately

```json
{

      "ref": "github.com/project-flogo/contrib/trigger/timer",
      "handlers": [
        {
          "action": {
            "ref": "#flow",
            "settings": {
              "flowURI": "res://flow:myflow"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

### Only once with a delay
Configure the Trigger to run a flow once with a delay of one minute.  "startDelay" settings format = "[hours]h[minutes]m[seconds]s"

```json
{
  "triggers": [

      "id": "flogo-timer",
      "ref": "github.com/project-flogo/contrib/trigger/timer",
      "handlers": [
        {
          "settings": {

          },
          "action": {
            "ref": "#flow",
            "settings": {
              "flowURI": "res://flow:myflow"

      ]
    }
  ]
}
```
