Let’s learn how to set up the options.

Set up automation based on a schedule

Automation based on a schedule is an option to run on a specific time range or days, to learn more about this automation’s possibilities, check out our article on smart schedules.

Here is how to enable this automation:

  • Slide the toggle button to Run automatically.

  • Choose in the dropdown menu “Based on a Schedule”.

  • The frequency of your workflow will be updated (Once a day, multiple times or Once a month).

  • The ideal hours to run.

  • Your timezone.

  • Which days to schedule automation (every day/ weekdays).

  • The time range to run the updates is based on your needs.

Here is how to enable this automation:

  • Slide the toggle button to Run automatically.
