Stop Clicking Execute: Automate Kestra Flows with Triggers | Kestra Tutorial 2026

In this Kestra tutorial, Developer Advocate Amara Graham shows you how to move beyond manually clicking Execute and let your workflows run themselves. You'll learn how triggers work — from time-based Schedule triggers using cron expressions to event-driven Flow triggers that automatically kick off one flow when another finishes. Amara walks through adding a real Schedule trigger to the flow built throughout this series, setting it to run every Monday at 10 AM, and shows you where to monitor all active triggers in the UI. By the end, you'll understand how to turn any one-time Kestra flow into a fully automated, production-ready workflow.
