When to Use: Choose an On-Schedule Workflow when you want your process to run automatically at a set time or repeat regularly. It’s ideal for daily, weekly, or monthly tasks that should happen on their own without anyone needing to start them.
Examples:- Run a workflow every morning to collect and email system or cost reports.
- Shut down inactive clusters automatically every night to save cloud costs.
- Send a weekly summary on Slack showing deployments and alerts.
