   Fuse Online provides a Timer connection; you do not need to create a timer connection. However, if you inadvertently deleted the provided Timer connection and created a new timer connection then you might have given it a different name.

4. On the Choose an Action page, click Cron Timer or Simple Timer.

   • A cron timer requires a cron expression that specifies the schedule for when to trigger integration execution.
   • A simple timer prompts you to specify a period and its time unit, for example, 5 seconds, 1 hour. Available units are milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days.
5. According the type of timer you are adding, enter a cron expression or a period with a selected time unit.
