Yes… page workflows only run when the page is open in someone’s browser.

Okay, thanks guys.
What is the difference between “This Thing” and the API param in API workflows?
What is their scope?
This Events means the specific Events from the list which the workflow is running on (i.e. each Events in your list of Eventss)
(note: don’t use plural names for Datatypes)
event is your workflow parameter name, and refers to whatever data was passed into the workflow in that parameter (presumably an Events).
Okay.
At each phase of the looping (while making changes to the list of things), does it mean that the Event param and This Events will be the same? Since I’m passing an Event into the workflow and doing a search for that same event.
Does my question make sense?
No they are not the same thing…
As I said… This Thing is the thing on the list that the particular iteration of the workflow is running on.
The Parameter is whatever value you’ve passed into it, and will be the same for each iteration of the workflow.
That said… it look as though you’re trying to run a workflow recursively on a list… you definitely don’t want to do that.
Oh, I thought that was the right way to do it.
I have DB, Events, and I want to be able to update the date of the events if it is recurring. and if the “old” date has passed. Recurring frequency can be Daily, Weekly or Monthly (so date plus 1 day, plus 7 days or plus 1 month).
There’s also a max recurrence limit, to set the number of times it can recur.
Is it possible without a Recursive backend workflow?
Read the docs and watch some videos on backend workflows and database structure
