Scheduled Executions

Scheduled executions are automations that allow the creation of tasks based on date-type fields within a type.
They are useful for routines such as automatic billing, periodic reviews, scheduled notifications, and more.

How do they work?

Each execution is created within a type and can only be used within that same type.

It depends on a date field from the type as a reference and performs calculations based on that field to determine the exact time of execution.

How to create a scheduled execution

To configure an execution, fill in the following fields:

• Name (Required): Name of the scheduled execution.
• Reference Field (Required): Date-type field that will be used as the basis for the calculation.
• Calculation Type: Unit of time to be used. It can be: Hour, Day, Month, or Year.
• Calculation: Interval to be added or subtracted from the reference field.
  Example:
  Reference field: Last payment:br Calculation type: Hour:br Calculation: 12:br The system will look for items where the last payment date is 12 hours ahead of the current time.
• Execution Frequency: Defines how often EnSpace will check if there are items that meet the execution criteria (e.g., every 1 hour, every 2 days...).
• Exact Time Match: When enabled, only items with a reference field exactly equal to the result of the calculation will be considered.
• Conditionals: Allows adding additional rules (such as status, type, etc.) so that the execution only occurs if the item meets these criteria.
• Description: Optional field to describe the purpose of the scheduled execution.

🔁 Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any field as a reference?
No. Only date-type fields can be used.

Can I configure more than one execution in the same type?
Yes! You can have as many executions as needed, as long as each one uses valid fields from the type.
