Launch on a schedule

Full-seat members

You can auto-launch Tallyfy processes on a recurring schedule using middleware tools like Zapier, Make, or Power Automate. Connect a schedule trigger to Tallyfy’s Launch Process action, and they’ll run hands-free.

This guide uses Zapier as an example - the steps are similar in other middleware platforms.

  • A Tallyfy account with the template you want to schedule
  • An account with a middleware service (Zapier, Make, or Power Automate)
  • Your Tallyfy account connected to that middleware service

Create a new Zap. For the trigger, search for and select Schedule by Zapier.

Configure when the process should launch:

  • Frequency - Every Day, Every Week, or Every Month
  • Specific day (e.g., Monday) or date (e.g., 1st of the month)
  • Time of day

For the action step, pick the Tallyfy app and choose Launch Process.

Set which process to launch and how:

  • Select the Tallyfy Template to use
  • Name the process instance - include the date so each run is unique (e.g., “Weekly Report - {{zap_meta_human_now}}”). Zapier’s {{zap_meta_human_now}} variable inserts the current date/time.
  • Fill in any kick-off form fields the template requires

Test your Zap to confirm it’s launching the process correctly in Tallyfy. Name your Zap and turn it on.
