Sending daily email reminders...Can recursive workflows substitute for recurring workflows?

markjkopelman · 2024-09-28T20:08:14.355Z

I have an app that needs to send out multiple emails daily to users (1 and 3-day reminders to event attendees, daily schedules to workers, etc).

I’m concerned that Bubble.io limits the number of recurring events per data type to 1, 5, or 20, depending on the plan. I am only on the starter plan which means I’m limited to 1 recurring email to Users.

Could I use recursive workflows as a workaround to schedule these emails out daily at noon Eastern? Any downsides or other workarounds? Thanks!

Absolutely!
In fact most people prefer them over recurring workflows specifically due to this reason.

One. If you accidentally cancel a recursive workflow, it will not trigger again unless you trigger it yourself. So you need to be extra careful and sort of keep an eye on how things are going.
