# Scheduling workflows

Configure the current recurring schedule options for a published Workflow and understand when they take effect.

Workflow scheduling starts with the **Schedule** trigger in the new-Workflow trigger picker. Configure the cadence on that trigger node; the default Published Workflow then runs automatically according to that schedule.

This is separate from **Control → Schedules**, which is the Project-wide surface for Agent schedules rather than a second Workflow-schedule editor.

## Available recurrence options

The current Workflow builder generates a five-field cron expression from two UI modes:

* **Interval:** every 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes, or every 1, 2, 4, 6 or 12 hours.
* **Specific time:** a time of day combined with selected weekdays.

There is no free-text cron editor in the builder.

## Time zone

Choose from the supported named time zones or use the detected browser zone. The selected IANA-style zone is stored with the schedule and passed to the scheduler, so daylight-saving changes follow that named zone.

## When a schedule becomes live

Changing the schedule on a Draft does not alter the current production schedule. The scheduler is synchronised when the version is published **and becomes the default**.

Scheduled executions are asynchronous and fire-and-forget from the scheduler's point of view. Inspect the resulting Workflow run in **Monitoring**.

## Current limits

The builder does not currently support:

* sub-minute schedules;
* a one-off "run at this date and time" schedule;
* day-of-month or month selection;
* scheduler-level retry when the scheduled trigger itself fails.

### Be careful with every N days

The current "every N days" representation uses a day-of-month cron step. That step restarts at the beginning of each month, so it is not a true continuous every-N-days interval across month boundaries.

If exact rolling cadence matters, do not assume that option provides it.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lleverage.ai/build-and-improve/automate/test-and-publish/scheduling-workflows.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
