# Timer event

In Business Integration Solutions, the **Timer** event triggers a pipeline based on a time interval in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

## Usage

Use this event to export a filtered set of data frequently from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. You can configure a **Timer** event for a table by:

- Defining an internal document
- Providing table and field filters

Use the job queue to process the **Timer** event automatically. On the **Job Queue Entry** card, you can define the recurrence and interval of the job queue. Once the job queue is configured for the **Timer** event, it regularly exports a filtered dataset.

## Concept

An internal document specifies the tables on which the **Timer** event is configured. When the **Timer** event triggers, either manually by selecting the **Process** button or automatically via the job queue, it creates a filtered set of data. You can add extra filters for the table field values; for example, customers with language code = NL, or items with a cost price > €1500. This record set is the **Timer** event's output and serves as the input for the first activity in the pipeline, most likely the XML Generator activity.
