Hi All,

As I  read the Adobe online documentation IN Time constraint Activity we need to specify start time and end time

so my ask is Workflow will run only during start time or end time when we use Time constraint Activity OR OUTSiDE THE START AND END TIME PERIOD

just dont understand the exact purpose of time constraint activity in Adobe Campaign

Time constraint Activity in Adobe Campaign Classic

Hi @Shrutii ,

Consider the below workflow,

Time constraint activity settings:

Case -1 : If 'Try again later if outside of execution period' is Unchecked:

- If the workflow triggers at 7 AM (before 8AM or after 9 AM), only JS-1 will get executed and workflow will get finished. 

- If the workflow triggers at any time between 8 AM to 9 AM, then both JS-1 and JS-2 will get executed. 

Case - 2 : If 'Try again later if outside of execution period' is Checked:

- If the workflow triggers at 7 AM (before 8AM or after 9 AM), only JS-1 will get executed at 7 AM  and the workflow will wait for the time specified in 'Time constraint' activity, and once the time is reached, then JS-2 will get executed at 8 AM.
