How to schedule recurring Tallyfy process launches using middleware
Tallyfy doesn’t have a built-in scheduler to start processes automatically on a schedule (e.g., every Monday). However, you can easily do this using a middleware tool like Zapier, Make, or Power Automate.
This guide shows the basic steps using Zapier as an example.
What you need
A Tallyfy account with the process template you want to schedule.
An account with a middleware service (like Zapier, Make, Power Automate).
Your Tallyfy account connected to your chosen middleware service.
How to set it up using Zapier (example)
1. Choose the schedule trigger
In Zapier, start a new Zap. For the trigger, search for and select the ‘Schedule by Zapier’ app.
2. Set your schedule
Set when the process should launch automatically:
Choose the frequency (e.g., Every Day, Every Week, Every Month).
Choose the specific day (e.g., Monday) or date (e.g., 1st of the month).
Set the time of day.
3. Add the Tallyfy action
For the action step, choose the Tallyfy app. Choose the ‘Launch Process’ action.
4. Configure the process launch details
Configure which Tallyfy process to launch and how:
Select the specific Tallyfy Template to use.
Set how the new process instance should be Named. It’s best to include the date so each instance is unique (e.g., “Weekly Report - {{zap_meta_human_now}}”). Zapier provides variables like {{zap_meta_human_now}} to insert the current date/time.
Fill in other required details needed to launch that specific template.
5. Test and turn on
Test your Zap to ensure it launches the process correctly in Tallyfy. Name your Zap and turn it on.
Now, Zapier will automatically launch the Tallyfy process on the schedule you set - without manual effort each time.
Tallyfy processes can be automatically launched on recurring schedules through middleware platforms like Zapier or custom API solutions to ensure critical business workflows run consistently without manual intervention.
Tallyfy processes can be automatically launched monthly using Zapier’s scheduler trigger which connects to the Launch Process action allowing businesses to set up recurring workflows that run on the first day of each month without manual intervention.
Middleware platforms enable automatic launching of Tallyfy workflows by connecting external applications as triggers and seamlessly transferring data between systems without requiring manual intervention or custom coding.
Tallyfy’s Zapier integration enables automated workflows between Tallyfy and thousands of business applications by triggering processes completing tasks capturing form data synchronizing information and scheduling recurring workflows without requiring coding expertise.
