Schedule and run Snowflake source meters
A Snowflake source runs only when a meter run is started.
How runs are triggered
A Snowflake source does not automatically start when new data appears in Snowflake. Processing begins only when a meter run is initiated.
Supported run methods include:
- Manual run from the Mediation UI.
- Meter Run API.
- Workflow using the Run Meter action.
Scheduling considerations
A Snowflake source does not include a built-in scheduler in the meter itself. For recurring execution, use Workflow to schedule the Run Meter action.
Typical schedules include:
- Every 30 minutes for near-real-time batch ingestion.
- Hourly for usage processing.
- Daily for billing preparation.
- Monthly for reconciliation and reporting.

What happens during a run
Each run executes the configured query once, processes the resulting dataset, and completes.
New data added after the run starts is not picked up automatically by that run.
