Configure a scheduled workflow

Acme Corp's order pipeline needs a health check that runs on a regular schedule. But a schedule that fires blindly isn't smart — it should only proceed during business hours and skip off-hours runs. You'll build this from scratch.

You'll create a workflow with a Schedule Trigger that runs every 30 minutes, add Edit Fields nodes to stamp execution context, and use an If node with a business-hours condition to decide whether the workflow should proceed or skip.
