1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

Scheduling tasks is a feature that would be used to execute tasks that are need to schedule to run at specific times. This feature would enhance the usability of the application by allowing users to automate task execution based on a defined schedule. The operation would be like a "cron" and the platform itself (or the "worker" rather) would be capable of executing them when the schedule conditions arrives.

2. Additional context or comments

Implement a scheduling module that allows users to set it up in the Start Node and manage scheduled tasks. The scheduler should support various scheduling intervals (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly, custom) and provide a user-friendly interface for configuring these tasks.

I see other request like this but were closed with no comments/reason for discarding.

This functionality could be implemented by other tools such as n8n but implementing them only for a schedule is not optimal or efficient and I think it would help us a lot if it were in the core.

3. Can you help us with this feature?

  • I am interested in contributing to this feature.

Many workflow platforms offer event-driven processes, allowing users to trigger workflows at custom times to automate tasks.
It is hoped that Dify can also provide a Schedule-driven workflow feature.
