Matt Silverlock•4/8/25, 12:41 PM

Can you describe a little more about what you're trying to do? Workflows are great for multi-step / async tasks, but aren't themselves a "task scheduler" - you can use Durable Object Alarms, the Agents SDK (and the scheduling API), or even Cron Triggers to schedule tasks - incl. Workflows.

cosbgn•4/8/25, 1:14 PM

Pretty much say my user has a workflow like:

Search for new concerts in Rome and email me if tickets are less than 50$

Search for new concerts in Rome and email me if tickets are less than 50$

run it
```
every 6 hours
```
```
every 6 hours
```

My current system works like this: I have a single CRON which runs every minute, queries the DB for pending jobs and runs them. This works but is not really scalable. I'm thinking how I could setup a system where the user defined cron interval would be the trigger. i.e. when the user saves the workflow I create a new cron/alter/workflow/whatever which takes care of this one.

Matt Silverlock•4/8/25, 1:37 PM

I'd consider using an Agent - e.g. an Agent for each user + the Agent schedules a ticket-search Workflow that runs the search + validates prices + reports back

Matt Silverlock•4/8/25, 1:39 PM

This isn't the same, but it's similar: each repo is associated with an Agent -> the Agent kicks a Workflow for each PR.

In your case, it's an Agent per user, and the Workflow is for a ticket-search (instead of a PR/code review):

cosbgn•4/8/25, 1:40 PM

Yeah I'm looking at the agents api

workflows seem a lot more streamlined an maintainable then doing the tasks independently, especially if they involve multiple workers or services.

theres also some things unique like the r2 trigger that could be really usefull on its own

Hey, I think there might be a bug with Cloudflare Workers.
Whenever I update any binding (like a KV namespace) from the dashboard and deploy the changes, the binding for the Workflow gets removed automatically. This seems unintended and could cause issues during deployment.

So after further investigation, it turns out any time the dev server reloads (any code change), every workflow instance disappears. This is really annoying. Is this expected?

You can repro with the workflows starter template easily.

npm create cloudflare@latest workflows-starter -- --template "cloudflare/workflows-starter"

npm create cloudflare@latest workflows-starter -- --template "cloudflare/workflows-starter"

Just run it, go to localhost:8787, record the instanceId and note that localhost:8787?instanceId=<id> shows details of the instance, add a console.log call anywhere and save, now localhost:8787?instanceId=<id> gives

instance.not_found

instance.not_found

error.

Hi! Has anyone been able to get cross-script to work locally? I've seen other people encounter this issue but not seen any solutions

✘ [ERROR] Worker "workflows:s3-update-status"'s binding "USER_WORKFLOW" refers to a service "core:user:integrations", but no such service is defined.

It works when called from the same worker, and service bindings between the workers seem to work fine, it's only an issue with the cross-script bindings.
