Scheduling
Instead of running workflows manually, you can set them up to run automatically on a schedule. This is useful for recurring tasks like daily reports, weekly reminders, or monthly invoice checks.
Setting Up a Schedule
- Open the canvas you want to schedule.
- Click the Schedule icon in the toolbar to open the Schedule Manager.
- Choose a frequency:
- Once — Run at a specific date and time.
- Daily — Run every day at a set time.
- Weekly — Run on selected days of the week at a set time.
- Monthly — Run on a specific day of each month.
- Custom cron — Define a cron expression for advanced scheduling needs.
- Set the start date and, optionally, an end date.
- Click Activate to enable the schedule.
Managing Schedules
The Schedule Manager shows all active and paused schedules for the current canvas. From here you can:
- Pause — Temporarily stop a schedule without deleting it.
- Resume — Restart a paused schedule.
- Edit — Change the frequency or timing.
- Delete — Remove the schedule entirely.
Viewing Scheduled Runs
Each scheduled run appears in the Execution History panel just like a manual run. You can review the results, see which steps succeeded or failed, and troubleshoot any issues.
Tips
- Test your workflow manually before scheduling it to make sure it works correctly.
- Use the "Once" option to schedule a one-time future run without setting up a recurring schedule.
- Scheduled workflows use the latest saved version of the canvas at the time they run.
