Scheduling Workflows to run on Business Days

Status: Under Review Submitted by on ‎03-22-2019 01:50 PM

Currently when scheduling workflows, there is an option to schedule based on the calendar day but not on business day. For example, if I want to run a workflow on Business Day 1 of every month, it is not necessarily the first day of every Month. For the month of June 2019, Business Day 1 is June 3rd, since the 1st and 2nd fall on the weekend. Many departments run their processes on Business Days rather than Calendar days. Also factoring Holidays into consideration would be a plus since January 1st for example is a Holiday, Business Day 1 would fall on the 2nd.

I am in agreement.  This would be an awesome feature.  I only want to run my workflows M-F during business hours.  Please consider adding this to the roadmap.

I just have my workflow run daily then have a filter at the beginning that will filter all records if it's not a business day. It works, but seems unnecessary if business day schedules were available.

Revising this page back in 2024 and looks like this is still not a functionality. It would be great if it could be added and would save my company time and money!
