How to use it?

One of the typical use cases is a bot required to run periodically at the specified time. Such a scenario lets you set up the workflow and the Time trigger, export the bot, so it is compatible with the Bot Runner application, and run the bot. The bot will wait for the specified time to come and execute the required steps.
