# Scheduled Runs

> Set a workflow to run automatically at a fixed time or interval.

Scheduled runs remove the need to trigger a workflow manually. Once set, Felix runs the workflow on the schedule you define.

## Setting a schedule

1. Open the workflow from your dashboard
2. Select **Schedule** from the Run dropdown menu
3. Choose a schedule:

| Option              | Example                           |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Every N minutes** | Every 30 minutes                  |
| **Hourly**          | Every hour at :00                 |
| **Daily**           | Every day at 09:00                |
| **Weekly**          | Every Monday at 08:00             |
| **Monthly**         | 1st of every month at 07:00       |
| **Custom (cron)**   | `0 9 * * 1-5` — weekdays at 09:00 |

4. Click **Turn on schedule**

## How scheduled runs work

A scheduled run executes the workflow exactly as a manual run would. If the workflow includes a Human Checkpoint, the run pauses and Felix notifies the assigned person. The schedule continues as normal for future runs regardless of whether the paused run has been completed.

## Pausing and stopping a schedule

* **Pause** — temporarily stop scheduled runs without deleting the schedule. Resume at any time.
* **Delete** — remove the schedule permanently. The workflow itself is not affected.

## Monitoring scheduled runs

All scheduled runs appear in the workflow's run history. If a scheduled run fails, Felix logs the error. The schedule continues — the next run triggers at the next scheduled time regardless.

<Note>
  Felix does not currently send automatic notifications when a scheduled run fails. Check your run
  history periodically or add a Human Checkpoint to surface failures for review.
</Note>

## Tips

* **Test manually before scheduling.** Confirm the output is correct before automating.
* **Match the schedule to the data.** If your workflow fetches data from the last 24 hours, a daily schedule makes sense.
* **Use cron for precise timing.** Weekdays only, twice a day, last day of the month — use a custom cron expression.
