Activate and Deactivate Workflows on Schedule Using Native n8n API

Schedule when other workflows should run — and when they shouldn’t!

This automation lets you activate or deactivate any selected n8n workflow on a custom schedule. Ideal for pausing resource-heavy flows overnight or enabling time-specific automations with precision.

Perfect for admins, developers, or operations teams managing multiple flows.

What it does:

⏰ Runs on a schedule you define (daily, weekly, custom)

🔁 Activates or deactivates another specified workflow

⚙️ Uses built-in n8n nodes for safe, seamless control

⚠️ Includes safety checks to prevent accidental shutdowns

✅ Importable workflow & step-by-step setup instructions included
