  Step 3: Creating a New Backend Workflow  
  • Return to the "Workflow" tab and click on "New API Endpoint" under the "Backend Workflows" section.

  Step 6: Testing Your Scheduled Workflow  
  • To ensure your scheduled workflow is functioning as expected, you can run tests. Set the scheduling time to a near-future time to quickly verify the action.
  • Monitor your application to see if the workflow triggers at the scheduled time and performs the expected actions.
  • Debug any issues by checking the logs and ensuring that your conditions and time settings are correct.
  Conclusion   Scheduling workflows in Bubble.io is a powerful way to automate tasks and improve the efficiency of your application.
