This article describes how to use the Scheduled Flow Event Card Okta Workflows.

• Okta Workflows

The Scheduled Flow Event (leftmost) card allows a Parent workflow (not triggered by a webhook, polling event, or API endpoint) to run on a periodic basis. The workflow can be scheduled by minute, hour, day, or month increments.

NOTE: All times in the flow are UTC. If there is a need for times to be converted to local time (i.e., Europe/Berlin), the Current Time from the Event card needs to be passed into a Date > Text card, and that output into a Text > Date card (the FORMAT of both cards needs to be identical). Valid time zones are located List of tz database time zones.
