Workflow Schedules allow you to automate the execution of a Workflow on a recurring basis, without requiring a manual trigger each time. Schedules can be configured to run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly; on a relative basis, such as the first Monday of each month; or using a custom cron-like expression.
Accessing the Schedules Tab
To configure a schedule, open the Workflow you want to automate and select the Schedules tab from the top navigation.
When no schedules have been created yet, the tab displays a "No Schedules defined yet" empty state with a description of the available scheduling options.

Recurring (Cron-like) Types
This option allows you to schedule workflows to run on a regular, repeating basis.
Hourly Schedule
Select Hourly from the Recurring Type dropdown.
Choose the minutes past each hour when the workflow should run.
You can select multiple minutes (e.g., 0, 15, 30, 45).
Daily Schedule
Select Daily from the Recurring Type dropdown.
You can add up to 5 execution times per day.
Click + Add Time to include more run times.
Use the X icon to remove a time slot.
Weekly Schedule
Select Weekly from the Recurring Type dropdown.
Choose one or more days of the week.
Select a time when the workflow should run on those days.
Monthly Schedule
Select Monthly from the Recurring Type dropdown.
Choose one or more days of the month (e.g., 1st, 5th, 30th).
Select a time for the workflow to run on those days.
Relative (First Saturday, etc.)
Use this option to run workflows on a relative basis, such as "First Monday of the month."
Choose the occurrence (First, Second, Third, Fourth, or Last).
Select the day of the week.
Set the time for execution.
Example: Run the workflow on the First Monday of every month at 6:30 AM.

👍 The schedule will now run automatically based on your selected criteria, as long as it’s marked Active and within the start/end date range.
Tips
You can add multiple schedules to the same Workflow for more complex timing requirements.
Use the End Date to automatically stop a schedule after a specific date.
Make sure the selected Timezone reflects when you want the schedule to execute.
Use the Active toggle to pause a schedule temporarily without deleting it.
