Great topic! I've been using cron triggers for most of my workflows, but I'm curious to hear about others' experiences with webhooks. Do you have a specific use case in mind where one might be more suitable than the other?

I'm a bit new to WebNutch and I was wondering if someone could explain the difference between cron and webhook triggers in simpler terms? 🤔

I've had great success with webhook triggers, especially when integrating with external services. It allows for more flexibility and scalability. What kind of workflows are you trying to schedule?

Hey, regarding the difference between cron and webhook triggers, I'd be happy to help clarify! Cron triggers are time-based, so you can schedule a workflow to run at a specific time or interval. Webhook triggers, on the other hand, are event-based, so a workflow is triggered when a specific event occurs. For example, you could use a webhook trigger to run a workflow whenever a new email is received. Does that make sense?
