Schedule workflow task

Instead of designing applications to create scheduled events manually, use the Event form.

To use a workflow to automate the entire process of scheduling events, write a workflow that uses the Schedule workflow task. The Schedule task handles a number of details that would otherwise have to be done by a few other tasks.

A Schedule workflow task creates an Event record and associates it with the record on which events will be performed. A Schedule task also creates a Recurrence record, sets the value of its fields, and associates the Recurrence record with the Event record.

A Schedule task does not schedule an event to happen. A Trigger Action workflow task is needed to do that. The Trigger Action workflow task is discussed in "Trigger action task".

The properties form for a Schedule task is organized into three sections. Here are descriptions of the fields in the first section:

Label: This is the label used to identify this workflow task. The text in this field is used as the label for the shape that represents this kind of workflow task in drawings.
Description: A description of this workflow task goes in this field.
