When we introduced enhanced self-service scheduling in April 2025, we removed the When data is refreshed option, which had let reload schedules trigger automatically when a dependent dataset was updated. At the time, we weren't able to carry that capability forward into the new task-based scheduler right away.
In the task editor, under Based on > Event, you can now select When data is refreshed to trigger a task automatically when a data update is detected in an upstream Qlik Talend Data Integration project that loads data into an analytics application.
The option is only available if the application is connected to a Qlik Talend Data Integration pipeline.
This brings back the event-driven automation the old scheduler offered, now built natively into the new self-service scheduling framework, with full compatibility with the multi-task model.
What does this mean for me?
If the application has an existing When data is refreshed schedule, this button might instead say Migrate. For applications with these schedules, clicking Migrate or Save will migrate all associated schedules to be individual tasks attached to the application.
No other action is required.
