Dynamically scheduled executions

Questions
1

Hi everyone
I wonder if there is a way to schedule the execution of a workflow dynamically

  • The time is defined at run-time so we can’t use “Cron” because it doesn’t accept any inputs
  • I know that it is possible to use an external task scheduler with “Webhook” but it would be if we can achieve it with n8n alone

Any suggestions?

Something like this?

  1. Cron will Run every x minutes.
  2. Function node generates a random number between 1 to 20
  3. The returned value is set as Wait of X minutes
  4. Then rest of the Workflow will be executed

Try this workflow :smile:
