Hi All, Is there any way to detect and space out workflows that have been scheduled at the same time?

Hey Mihira, If you run recurring workflows on a data type, maybe can you had a data field to store the running time. If there are scheduled workflows, you can create a data type with the same kind of data field as above. In both cases, before you set a new workflow check if any is already planned…

Hi @devease , Thanks yes I will try this. I guess it will need another recursive workflow to determine the first slot where a worklfow is not scheduled.

@mihira what king of actions is it exactly ? “recurring workflow” or “scheduled workflows”?

First you can get back the scheduled time of current recurring workflows, by adding this step to your current recurring worflow: [Scheduler udpate] Then you can set new recurring workflows by iteration. In this example we don’t allow more than 5 WF running at the same time and we iterate by 5min…

Gotcha @devease thanks so much for the screenshots.
