Launching > Launch on a schedule
Tallyfy processes can be automatically scheduled using middleware tools like Zapier by setting up a schedule trigger that launches specific process templates at predetermined intervals without manual intervention.
Automatic launches run repeating workflows (daily, weekly, monthly) on time without manual intervention.
Schedule through Zapier, Make.com, or Microsoft Power Automate.
Implementation steps:
Example: Daily equipment check
Trigger: Schedule (Every day at 8:00 AM)Action: [Launch](/products/pro/launching/) Tallyfy [process](/products/pro/tracking-and-tasks/processes/)Template: Equipment Safety CheckProcess name: Equipment Check - {date}
Build custom solutions using the Tallyfy API with server-side schedulers.
Implementation steps:
Example: Node.js script
const cron = require('node-cron');const axios = require('axios');
// Schedule task to run at 9:00 AM every Mondaycron.schedule('0 9 * * 1', async () => { try { await axios.post('https://go.tallyfy.com/api/processes', { template_id: 'your-template-id', name: `Weekly Report - ${new Date().toLocaleDateString()}` }, { headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } }); console.log('Weekly report process launched successfully'); } catch (error) { console.error('Failed to launch process:', error); }});
Trigger from existing systems (ERP, HRIS) that already have scheduling capabilities.
Implementation steps:
Middleware schedulers are the simplest solution. See our Monthly Process Launch with Zapier guide for a detailed example.
Process Type | Frequency | Example Implementation |
---|---|---|
Compliance audits | Monthly | Schedule equipment inspection process on the 1st of each month |
Financial reporting | Weekly | Launch expense approval workflow every Friday at 4:00 PM |
Team updates | Daily | Trigger daily standup checklist each morning at 9:00 AM |
Maintenance checks | Quarterly | Schedule facility inspection process on the first day of each quarter |
