A trigger allows you to invoke a Serverless Job on a recurring schedule, based on a [cron expression](/serverless-jobs/reference-content/cron-schedules/), in the `* * * * *` format, using the desired time zone.
You can add multiple triggers on the same Job Definition.

<Requirements />

- A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com)
- [Owner](/iam/concepts/#owner) status or [IAM permissions](/iam/concepts/#permission) allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
- [Created a Serverless Job](/serverless-jobs/how-to/create-job/)
