Schedule Workflow Runs in Grid
Schedule your workflows to run automatically on a recurring basis directly from the Grid interface. This powerful feature enables hands-free automation of your content operations, ensuring your workflows execute at optimal times without manual intervention.

Overview
The Schedule feature allows you to set up recurring workflow runs based on your preferred frequency, timing, and conditions. Whether you need daily content updates, weekly SEO refreshes, or monthly bulk operations, scheduled runs ensure your workflows execute consistently and reliably.

Best Practices
1. Use Row Filters Wisely
Filter on empty output columns to avoid reprocessing completed rows
Use "contains" filters to target specific content types or categories
Combine multiple filters for precise targeting
2. Time Dependent Workflows Appropriately
When one scheduled workflow's outputs feed into another workflow:
Schedule them with sufficient time gaps to ensure the first completes before the second begins
Consider the typical execution time of your workflows when setting schedules
3. Monitor Initial Runs
Check the History tab after your first scheduled run
Verify that the correct rows were processed
Adjust filters or timing as needed
