Problem Statement
Current automation workflows run based on calendar frequency only, without considering working days.
For reminder-based workflows, this creates unnecessary noise. When notifications run over weekends, users return on Monday having received multiple duplicate reminders, which leads to:
- Perceived spam and reduced engagement
- Increased user complaints
- Decreased effectiveness of reminder workflows
Use Case
Reminder workflows for forecast updates require human action. These updates can only realistically occur during working days. Running notifications outside this window provides no value and creates friction.
Proposed Enhancement
Introduce an option within Automation Workflow settings:
“Run on workdays only” (optional configurable working days, for example Monday to Friday)
Bonus: Run monthly (for other use cases)
