Difference Between Trigger and Schedule Fields in SnapLogic Metadata Read Snap and Impact of Updates
(edited)
Hello Team, I am using the SnapLogic Metadata Read Snap to fetch details of a scheduled task. In the output, I noticed two fields—trigger and schedule—both containing similar scheduling information. Could anyone help clarify the difference between these two fields? Additionally, what is the impact of updating either of them using Metadata Update Snaps?
