Schedule workflows from the spreadsheet
Some spreadsheet work should run when the team is ready. Some should run on a schedule. Sheetlane lets teams schedule action columns so approved rows execute on a recurring cadence, with all the same safety controls as manual runs.
- Cron-style triggers, daily, weekly, hourly, or custom
- Status and approval conditions decide which rows run
- Dry runs and previews remain available
- Full per-row execution history for every scheduled run
- Cron triggers
- Conditional rows
- Audit trail
Use scheduling for
- Approved outreach batches sent each weekday morning
- Refreshing integrated data on a 24-hour cadence
- Publishing approved social posts on a schedule
- Slack notifications when high-priority customer feedback appears
- Auto-creating follow-up tasks when deal stages change
- Weekly internal report rollups
Control before automation
Scheduling does not bypass the safety controls. A scheduled action column still respects approval status, dry-run flags, rate limits, and idempotency. Use a status column to gate which rows are eligible to run.
Frequently asked questions
Can I schedule actions by row?
Yes. Action columns can be scheduled. A condition (typically a status column) decides which rows are eligible at each tick.
Can scheduled actions use approval status?
Yes. Build workflows around status and approval columns so only ready rows execute on the schedule.
Can I pause a scheduled column?
Yes. Schedules can be paused, edited, or deleted from the action column settings.
