Questions tagged [time-dependent-workflow]
Time-dependent workflow actions are executed at a specific time, such as ten days before a record’s close date. When that specific time passes, the workflow rule re-evaluates the record to make sure that it still meets the rule criteria. If it does, the workflow rule executes those actions.
