R – SharePoint – Scheduled Workflows

sharepointworkflow

Is there any 'out of the box' feature in SharePoint to allow you to schedule a workflow?

Best Answer

No there is no OTB feature to do that, but depending on the workflow you might be able to fake it.

If it's a SharePoint Designer workflow you've created that you want to run at certain intervals. Then you can make the following changes to it:

  1. Make it run automatically when the item is changed.
  2. When it's done with the real functionality then make a delay and after the delay modify the item and stop.

A new instance of the workflow will then spawn due to the modification
