My workflows don't execute automatically on scheduled time

Hi,

My problem is that I need to execute the projects manually. They won’t to it automatically by them self. I don’t know why I don’t see any error it just doesn’t start. It is so frustrating. I have been working with clients they think I am joke now…

Please someone if have solution text me because this is ridiculous.

Any chance you can share more information. What notes are you using, what version are you one. When you say execute automatically what do you mean are these time based, webhooks or something else? I think more information would help.

Yes. I use version 1.82.1. The problem is that when I open my workflow and press test workflow everything is good no problems. Than I have setup a schedule trigger on every hours. And than I come back after 24 hours nothing I doesn’t want to start and when I check executions also nothing just the one I was doing…

This must be a joke 0 respond from support. Thank you I will make sure I make content about your support. Neither on email or here.

I have same problem. I’ve set to 290 seconds, and it’s executing every minute.

hi @Alex_Godlewski @iBoy_Droid

Sorry for the late response here, we’ve been dealing with lots of requests at the moment. We don’t seem to be having any widespread issues on schedulers. Which n8n version are you on at the moment? Can you try upgrading to the latest stable version and test again?

Thanks!

Hi, I have updated it to 1.83.2 And I still have the totally same problem. And it is for every workflow I have not just for 1.



As you can see it is active, eveyything works, no problems at all It just doesn’t want to start on its own.

Try setting Custom (Cron) interval.

Using cron-style timing works for me.

There are two models I would test if I needed workflow to run every 6 hours.

  1. 0 */6 * * * - should run every 6 hours at 0 minutes (since workflow activation I presume)
  2. 0 0,6,12,18 * * * - should run at 0:00 6:00 12:00 18:00

My preference would be the one with explicit hours of the day.

@iBoy_Droid Welcome to the community.
I understand your frustration, however I’m not sure if threatening is the best way to introduce yourself here :sweat_smile: .
You account is on the starter plan, where the support has no SLA.
It doesn’t help that there is currently a large influx of users, and all support channels are overwhelmed.

I’ll try to reproduce the issue :crossed_fingers:

@Alex_Godlewski I think this is a know bug where setting seconds or minutes longer than 60 clips the value to 60 because of how the cron stuff works internally. I’ll have a look to see if we can intelligently rewrite the cron expression to fix this. Until then, can you try setting the interval to something like 5 minutes instead?

Unfortunately I’m still not able to reproduce this.
Can any of you reproduce this on a local docker installation?

It is not about threating it is about the fact that I have messaged all over the places where I could find contact and I didn’t get any respond.

I have no idea what are you asking me to do here

I come to new discovery. I created today totally new workflow and it works with same schedule trigger as the other workflow who doesn’t work.

Would it be possible for you to share this workflow with me?

You could download it from the frontend

And then sent the json file over to me as a private message.

Yes of course but I have API inside so please don’t use my credits. hahah lol

Also now I saw this this is new
