Research direction
The issue lacks a clear description and requirements. First, review existing schedule triggers in the Pipedream codebase (e.g., in components/ or triggers/). Then, comment to ask for clarification on the desired behavior: should the trigger emit at a completely random time daily, or within a specified window? Also check if there are any related discussions in the comments (3 comments exist, but not visible here). The implementation would involve adding a new trigger type and handling scheduling logic using cron or similar.
