A recurring workflow is a Workflow that is not triggered against any particular object.

Accordingly its ability to use variables is limited. These can be useful for tasks that need to recur at regular intervals such as a weekly reminder e-mail.

They can also be used with ReportProperty to send summary report information.


When using a recurring workflow the tasks are always connected in a loop, and there must be at least one connector that has a delay. Otherwise once the workflow is activated the workflow would loop continuously without any break.

The system is configured to automatically stop processing any workflows configured this way after 5 loops.
