When using workflow automation for weekly notifications does it run just once?

Mathew Palter

Under this it states that it would give one alert message, I know it is an example, so I am clarifying if it would send it the next week as well?

Hi @Mathew Palter

That example is specific just to one week to show the data that will be pulled in weekly - however the notification/alert itself would send out every Friday. This means, yes! It would send out the next week as well.

The workflow records data from Friday - Thursday, and delivers the notification every week on Friday morning.

Keep in mind this means if you changed something 3 weeks ago, it won't be included in this current "weekly" report as it didn't change in the last week Friday-Thursday. Does that make sense?

Cheers,

Genevieve
