How do I setup a schedule to run my workflow?

Schedule info

Spojit platform supports two types of schedules:

Periodic: allows you to set an workflow to run in specified intervals (every X minutes or hours)
Time based: allows you to set an workflow to run once per day at specified time

Schedule starting point: Each schedule requires you to specify a schedule activation start date and time ('Activate On' field). This can be set to any future date/time and indicates the starting point of the schedule.

Time awareness: Periodic schedule is time aware which means if you set your schedule to start at 5:55 am running every 1 hour, the workflow will run at 5:55 am, 6:55 am, etc. The same schedule running every 7 minutes would run at 5:55 am, 6:02 am, 6:09 am etc.

Locale awareness: The date and time you enter into your scheduler is in the time zone of your account. You can change the time zone in My Account settings, ‘Preferences’ tab.
