Schedules

Note: Schedules is currently in beta.

A centralised place to manage all Schedules for all your Workflows in one location with the occurences of these Schedules visible on a Calendar. You can also view Schedules specific for a Workflow in the Workflow Editor Schedules tab.

Schedules allow you to

trigger a Workflow one time or recurring
define the parameters to be passed to the Workflow
define multiple concurrent times for a Workflow to run

Schedules can be paused individually or the Schedule trigger can be disabled which will pause all Schedules. If the Schedule trigger is disabled, when enabled again it will only enable those Schedules that were previously active, respecting all prior pauses.

Schedules

Filters

You can filter by a combination of Scope, Team, Workflow, Status, or Date range.

Type

There are three types of Schedule: Run Once, Recurring, and Recurring via cron expression.

Run Once

Allows you to set a date and time in the future.

Recurring

Allows you to set the time, timezone and which days to run.

Recurring via cron expression

Allows you to define the cron schedule and timezone. The cron accepts both 5 part cron strings as well as 7 part quartz cron syntax

To generate Cron schedule expressions, you can use web tools like crontab.guru. For Quartz Cron expressions you can use web tools like cronmaker.

Please note that the 1 1 1 1 1 expression does not work with Flow's scheduling system
