# Orchestration

> How Prequel schedules transfers and how to tune frequency per destination.

Prequel automatically orchestrates transfers on a schedule. Every account runs at a default frequency, and Prequel enqueues a transfer for each enabled destination at that cadence with no manual intervention.

## Default orchestration

Every Prequel account runs at a default frequency, configurable at the account level. Unless otherwise specified, this default value is daily (i.e., every 24 hours).

<Note>
  **Orchestration time of day is global**

  The time of day at which scheduled transfers run is global to your account. For example, daily transfers run at midnight UTC and 12h transfers run at midnight and noon UTC. Contact the Prequel team if you would like to update this global orchestration time.
</Note>

## Per-destination frequency

You can override the default frequency for an individual destination, either in the Prequel Admin UI or via the API by setting `frequency_minutes` on the [Create Destination](/export/api-reference/destinations/create-destination) (or [Update Destination](/export/api-reference/destinations/update-destination)) request.

### Allowed frequencies

The allowed frequencies are every **15m**, **1h**, **6h**, **12h**, or **daily**.

<Note>Available sync frequencies depend on your plan. Contact your Prequel representative to enable higher frequencies.</Note>

| Frequency            | `frequency_minutes` | Notes                                                          |
| -------------------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Organization default | `0`                 | Uses the organization's default frequency                      |
| 15m                  | `15`                |                                                                |
| 1h (hourly)          | `60`                |                                                                |
| 6h                   | `360`               | 6h transfers will run every 6 hours starting midnight UTC time |
| 12h                  | `720`               | 12h transfers will run midnight & noon UTC time                |
| 24h (daily)          | `1440`              | Daily transfers will run midnight UTC time                     |

## Custom orchestration

For scheduling needs beyond the standard frequencies above, you can configure custom orchestration directly in the Prequel UI.

If you would like to disable automatic orchestration entirely (for example, to trigger every transfer yourself through the API), contact the Prequel team for more detail.
