Scheduling

Turn any workflow into something that runs on its own, on a schedule you set, in your own timezone. This page covers how to set up a schedule, what happens when you publish, and how to pause or stop one.

Manual or scheduled

Scheduling lives on the Trigger node, the usual starting point of a workflow. Open its settings panel and choose how the workflow runs:

• Manual ("Run on demand"): the workflow only runs when you click Run yourself.
• Scheduled ("Run on a schedule"): the workflow runs automatically, on the schedule you set below.

Choosing a frequency

When you pick Scheduled, a Frequency dropdown appears with five options:

1. Interval: fill in "Run every [N] [minutes/hours/days]." Schedules can't run more often than every 15 minutes.
2. Daily: fill in "Run at [HH:MM]" to pick one time each day.
3. Daily (random times): set "Executions per day" (1 to 50), then a "Between" window with a start and end time. Runs are spread randomly inside that window.
4. Weekly: pick the days with "Run on" and a time with "At time".
5. Cron expression: write your own schedule in the "Cron expression" field (placeholder example: 0 9 * * *, meaning minute hour day month weekday). The same 15-minute floor applies here too.

Timezones

You don't need to set your timezone yourself. 60 Minute Creator picks it up automatically from your browser. Wherever a schedule time is shown, you'll see: "Times are in your timezone: {your timezone}."

If your browser's timezone changes, for example if you're travelling, your active schedules move with you automatically, so "Daily at 09:00" still means 9am for you, wherever you are.

How many times it runs

"Runs per scheduled execution" lets the workflow run more than once each time the schedule fires, up to 100 times. Leave it at 1 if you just want a single run per trigger.

Retries and timeouts

Below the schedule settings, the same panel also has:

• Automatically retry failed nodes: a toggle to retry nodes that fail.
• Max Retries: how many times to retry.
• Retry Delay (seconds): how long to wait between retries.
• Timeout per Node: how long to let a node run before giving up.

These apply whether your workflow is set to Manual or Scheduled.

Turning your schedule on

A schedule only starts running once you publish the workflow. Click the Publish button (it reads "Republish" once the workflow is already live) in the top action bar.

• If your Trigger is set to Scheduled, publishing turns the schedule on and your workflow will run unattended from then on.
• If your Trigger is set to Manual, publishing makes the workflow live, but nothing runs until you click Run yourself.
• If any nodes are still unconfigured, you'll see a warning first: "Publish with incomplete nodes? This workflow has incomplete nodes. Publishing will allow scheduled runs to attempt execution, which may fail at incomplete nodes." You can cancel or choose "Publish Anyway."

Turning a schedule on requires being on a paid plan, since it means the workflow runs without you there. Your plan also has a limit on how many workflows can be actively scheduled at once. If you hit it, you'll be prompted to upgrade. See Limits & Formats for the exact numbers per plan.

Pausing or stopping a schedule

There's no separate pause button. To stop scheduled runs:

1. Unpublish the workflow, using the cloud-off icon next to Publish (it only appears once the workflow is live). This clears the schedule completely.
2. Or switch the Trigger back to Manual and click Republish. The schedule clears the same way.

Checking on your schedules

On your Workflows list, each workflow card shows its status at a glance, for example "Published · Scheduled" or "Draft · Manual." The first word (Published or Draft) is the publish state; the second (Scheduled or Manual) is the Trigger mode.
