Scheduled Workflows in Lleverage run automatically at predetermined times or intervals. These workflows are ideal for recurring tasks that need to be performed regularly without manual intervention, such as daily reports, periodic data processing, or routine system checks.
Automatic execution based on defined schedules
Background processing without user interaction
Schedule information displayed in the Publish Panel
Ability to toggle schedules on and off
Log tracking for monitoring execution results
After publishing a workflow with a Schedule trigger
The Publish Panel will display schedule information
This information shows when your workflow is set to run
The schedule format typically shows frequency (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.)
It may also include the next scheduled run time
💡 Schedule information helps you track when your automated workflows will execute.
After your workflow with a Schedule trigger is configured
Click the "Publish" button in the top right corner
The Publish Panel will open, showing the activation toggle
Toggle the switch ON to activate your scheduled workflow
Toggle the switch OFF to temporarily pause the schedule
The activation status is also visible in the top bar of the editor
⚠️ When active, scheduled workflows will run automatically at the specified times, which may consume workflow runs from your plan.
Since scheduled workflows run in the background, you won't see direct results in real-time
Check your workflow logs regularly to verify successful execution
Set up notification actions in your workflow if you need alerts about execution
Review any error logs to identify and resolve issues
Monitor your workflow run usage to ensure you stay within plan limits
💡 Regular monitoring is crucial for scheduled workflows since they execute without user intervention.
If a scheduled workflow isn't running as expected, check its activation status first
Verify the schedule configuration is correct
Check for any validation errors in the workflow
Review logs for any error messages from previous execution attempts
Test the workflow manually using the Run Panel to identify potential issues
⚠️ Authentication issues with external services can cause scheduled workflows to fail silently. Always check connection status if integrations are involved.
Use descriptive names for scheduled workflows to easily identify their purpose
Include error handling in your workflows to manage unexpected situations
Consider adding notification actions to alert you about important results or failures
Deactivate scheduled workflows when they're not needed to conserve workflow runs
Periodically review all active schedules to ensure they're still serving their purpose
💡 For critical scheduled workflows, consider adding redundancy checks or confirmation mechanisms to ensure tasks are completed even if initial attempts fail.
