# Date Time

## Use the Date Time System Utility App to control when and how automations execute.

#### Triggers

The Date Time system utility app provides triggers for controlling when an automation executes:

An automation can have no other triggers, in which case the automation performs its actions at the configured time.

More commonly, one or more other polling triggers are used in conjunction with a Date Time trigger, as a way to control the scheduling of the polling trigger(s).

#### <https://help.apiant.com/date-time#bmEWa>Actions

The Date Time actions can be used to pause an automation's processing, or to snooze an automation:

See [Snoozing automations](https://help.apiant.com/snoozing-automations?hsLang=en) for more information about snoozing automations and the differences between pausing and snoozing.
