In addition ,Target Flow Endpoints have an On Arrival option.
On Arrival schedules will deliver files immediately after they arrive from a source endpoint.
The On Arrival schedules activates only upon the arrival of a new file. If no additional file is placed in the designated target folder path, the "on arrival" schedule remains inactive.
However, if the target becomes available by the time the next file arrives and triggers the "on arrival" schedule, the original file will also be transferred.
If you want to schedule a flow to be triggered only by an API call, refer to Publishing a flow with no schedule (API trigger only).
