- Click the "Schedule" button (usually located in the toolbar or settings menu)
- The Schedule Execution panel will open
Enabling a Schedule
By default, schedules are disabled. To turn on automation:
- In the Schedule panel, toggle the "Enable Schedule" switch to ON
- The schedule settings below will become active
- Configure your desired schedule
- Click "Save Changes"
Configuring Frequency
You can choose from four main frequency types:
Hourly
Runs the workflow once every hour.
- Minute: Choose which minute of the hour the workflow should start (e.g., at the 15th minute of every hour).
Daily
Runs the workflow every day at specific times.
- Hours: Select one or more hours of the day (e.g., 9 AM and 5 PM).
- Minutes: Select the minute within those hours.
Weekly
Runs the workflow on specific days of the week.
- Days of Week: Choose which days to run (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday).
- Hours & Minutes: Select the time of day for the run.
Monthly
Runs the workflow on specific days of the month.
- Months: Choose specific months (or all months).
- Days of Month: Select dates (e.g., 1st and 15th).
- Hours & Minutes: Select the time of day.
Timezones
It is important to set the correct timezone for your schedule.
- Use the Timezone dropdown to select your local time or the server time (e.g., UTC, America/New_York).
- All scheduled times will strictly follow the selected timezone.
Previewing Upcoming Runs
As you configure your schedule, the panel shows a list of "Upcoming Runs" on the right side.
- This helps you verify that the schedule is set up correctly.
- It displays the exact date and time of the next 5 scheduled executions.
Managing Schedules
- To Edit: Simply open the Schedule panel again, make changes, and click Save.
- To Pause: Toggle the "Enable Schedule" switch to OFF. This keeps your configuration but stops future automatic runs.
