"Repeat" Scheduled trigger in Flow Designer

[CMartin0423]

(I've tried looking for this information in ServiceNow docs and have come up empty.)

I've created a new flow in Flow Designer. The flow needs to run every 7 days. I've selected the "Repeat" trigger option and specified 7 days in the parameter.

My question is, when will the flow run the first time? My flow has been promoted to our TEST environment, but has not executed yet. I expected it to execute the first time soon after promotion and then every 7 days thereafter. Or, will the flow execute for the first time 7 days after promotion?

Thanks for any info you can provide.

@CMartin0423 

it starts the moment you activate it.

so if you want to run at that time, you need to deploy/activate on that specific time/day
