Schedule Workflow with arguments?

Community Support
1

Is there a way we can store the arguments that is required for the workflow while scheduling?

2

Do you mean the workflow inputs you pass in when creating the schedule that are recorded in workflow history (WorkflowExecutionStarted event) ?

3

Basically i am looking to attach payload that workflow needs when worklfow is triggered from scheduler.

How do i pass the payload that workflow needs at the time of workflow scheduling

You can pass input when you create the schedule, via tctl/cli for example see:

tctl schedule create -h
temporal schedule create

(input option)

With the SDK you can do the same as shown in this sample: samples-typescript/start-schedule.ts at 272b2ff7732f0d20a9a8c024cbe9256f1e4a5bb8 · temporalio/samples-typescript · GitHub

thank you, that was really helpful. In addition responses are encoded, how do we decode them like scheduleId as part of the response

7

But is there a way to do this using UI or web dashboard, since I couldn’t find this option in the UI.

Looks like this isn’t supported ATM.

Could add your request to this issue: Schedules, Payload · Issue #1068 · temporalio/ui · GitHub

cli and SDK support it, use “input” args
