You can add multiple workflows, one per hour.
Would that work?

@Gajapathi Muniyappa The best that can be accomplished natively in Smartsheet would be to set up a workflow for each hour. If you need something more immediate, then you would need to look at either a different structure for your overall solution, or you would need to look into the API or third party apps such as Zapier.

I hope you're well and safe!
You can use a Date trigger to make it work.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

@Gajapathi Muniyappa If your formula contains a cross sheet reference then you will not be able to use it as a trigger. You would need to set it up as a date based trigger such as daily and then use the formula column as a condition.

Understood but trigger daily once will not serve my purpose. I need this to be trigger immediatly when data changes.
