Two quick ideas:

  1. Use a combination of two workflows, with the main one triggering the child workflow based on a timestamp you store somewhere in a database or file. The child workflow updates this timestamp when finished.
  2. Start with a cron/schedule trigger, and use the n8n api to have the workflow update itself, modifying the trigger node’s values.
