Workflows
Scheduling & Batch Processing
Managing scheduled tasks and batch operations in BuildBetter workflows
Scheduling Overview
BuildBetter’s scheduling system enables:- Automated task timing
- Recurring operations
- Batch processing
- Resource optimization
- Coordinated workflows
Schedule Types
Time-Based
Run at specific times
Event-Based
Trigger on specific events
Recurring
Regular repeated execution
Conditional
Based on custom criteria
Scheduling Options
Time Schedules
- One-time execution
- Daily operations
- Weekly tasks
- Monthly processes
- Custom intervals
Event Schedules
- Data triggers
- System events
- User actions
- External signals
Batch Processing
