Trigger window
The trigger window is the time frame in which an API flow groups pending entries into a mailing. In PostPal, this window is weekly. It controls the processing time, not the final billing amount: billing is based on the actual batch size.
The trigger window defines when an API flow processes its collected entries into a mailing batch.
In PostPal, this window is weekly. New API entries first remain in the flow and are processed together during the next matching run.
Important: the trigger window is not a billing quantity. It decides timing. Costs are based on the actual batch size.
