Scheduling Workflows

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.

Schedule Publish Panel

Key Features

• 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

How to View Schedule Information

1. After publishing a workflow with a Schedule trigger

2. The Publish Panel will display schedule information

3. This information shows when your workflow is set to run

4. The schedule format typically shows frequency (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.)

5. It may also include the next scheduled run time

💡 Schedule information helps you track when your automated workflows will execute.

How to Activate and Deactivate Scheduled Workflows

1. After your workflow with a Schedule trigger is configured

2. Click the "Publish" button in the top right corner

3. The Publish Panel will open, showing the activation toggle

4. Toggle the switch ON to activate your scheduled workflow

5. Toggle the switch OFF to temporarily pause the schedule

6. 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.

How to Monitor Scheduled Workflow Execution

1. Since scheduled workflows run in the background, you won't see direct results in real-time

2. Check your workflow logs regularly to verify successful execution

3. Set up notification actions in your workflow if you need alerts about execution

4. Review any error logs to identify and resolve issues

5. 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.

How to Troubleshoot Scheduled Workflows

1. If a scheduled workflow isn't running as expected, check its activation status first

2. Verify the schedule configuration is correct

3. Check for any validation errors in the workflow

4. Review logs for any error messages from previous execution attempts

5. 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.

Best Practices for Scheduled Workflows

1. Use descriptive names for scheduled workflows to easily identify their purpose

2. Include error handling in your workflows to manage unexpected situations

3. Consider adding notification actions to alert you about important results or failures

4. Deactivate scheduled workflows when they're not needed to conserve workflow runs

5. 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.
