Schedule Tasks with Cron

Cron lets you schedule your workflows to run at regular intervals.

Example: You need to send a weekly reminder email to your team every Monday at 9 AM. Instead of doing it manually each week, you set Cron to send the email automatically at that time.

📌

Just tell it when and how often you want the flow to run.

How to set up your scheduled flows to run at regular intervals.

  1. Create a new flow and choose Cron as the trigger.

  2. Enter your schedule prompt (e.g., "daily at 10:00 AM") and set Frequency, Interval, and Start Date as needed.

  3. Click Create, then Continue to configure your workflow actions.

Advanced Configuration in Cron


With Advanced Configuration of Cron, you can use apps and built-in tools with Cron to do more complex tasks.

Apps let the workflow connect with other services, while built-in tools allow data processing, automation, and smart actions at scheduled times.

Example - In Google Sheets, first use List All Rows to get all data.

Then, apply a condition to decide whether to process each record individually, based on specific criteria, or both together. This allows the workflow to act only on the desired rows automatically.

📌

The default timezone will be set to the workspace timezone, but you can also change the timezone according to your requirements in each workflow.
