My workflow works great while my laptop is open, but doesn’t run when closed. I have a schedule trigger to execute the workflow. How do I enable the workflow to continue whilst I’m offline?
@Optimo welcome to the community
Is this related to your question?
Thanks for sharing - it looks like it could be.
Im willing to set up through third party apps like render, but Im curious if this is something n8n cloud can do without third parties?
Thanks for the welcome too 
n8n Cloud can handle continuous execution, but it requires a paid plan. The free tier has limitations, like instance sleeping. If you upgrade to a paid plan, you can run workflows 24/7 without third party services.
We do have a paid plan (starter, for now). Is instance s;eeping something we need to deactivate?
No instance sleeping only happens when there is no activity.
So the workflow should run with laptop closed because were on cloud/paid plan. Is there any reason it wouldnt be?
Thanks again for your help so far
Yes your workflow should run even when your laptop is closed
