Schedule workflow execution

At a glance

Scheduling lets you program the automatic execution of your workflows. Configure a periodic trigger (every hour, every day at midnight, every Monday, etc.) with a standard cron expression. Scheduled executions are fully autonomous and tracked in the history.

Before you begin

• A workflow must be created and functional.
• Test your workflow manually before scheduling it to ensure it produces the expected results.

Steps

Create a schedule

1. Open your workflow in the Workflow Builder.
2. Click the Schedule icon in the toolbar.
3. Configure the parameters:

Parameter	Description	Example
Cron expression	When the workflow should run.	0 0 * * * (every day at midnight)
Timezone	The reference timezone for the hours.	Europe/Paris
Name	A label to identify this schedule.	"Daily supplier sync"
Active	Enable or disable the schedule.	Yes

4. Click Save.

Common cron expressions

Expression	Meaning
*/15 * * * *	Every 15 minutes
0 * * * *	Every hour
0 0 * * *	Every day at midnight
0 9 * * 1-5	Monday to Friday at 9 AM
0 0 * * 1	Every Monday at midnight
0 0 1 * *	The 1st of each month at midnight

Enable and disable

• Toggle the Active switch to suspend or resume a schedule without deleting it.
• A disabled schedule retains its configuration for later reactivation.

View execution history

1. Open the scheduled workflow.
2. Click the History tab.
3. Each execution displays:
   • Trigger date and time
   • Execution duration
   • Status (succeeded, failed, cancelled)
   • Link to detailed logs

Expected outcome

Your workflow runs automatically according to the configured schedule. Each execution is tracked in the history with its status and logs.

Limitations and common errors

Situation	Solution
The workflow does not trigger	Verify that the schedule is active and that the cron expression is correct.
Duplicate executions	Verify that only one schedule is active for this workflow.
"Invalid cron expression"	Use the standard 5-field format (minute hour day month day_of_week).
The workflow fails on every scheduled execution	Test it manually to identify the failing block before rescheduling.
