AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Based on the conversations, it appears that if a workflow takes longer to run than its scheduled frequency, it does not necessarily leave some records unhandled. However, there are limitations to consider. For instance, in a sandbox environment, there is a restriction on the number of records a workflow can handle at a time. One user mentioned that it's the first 20 or 30 records. In terms of scheduling, workflows can be set to run daily or every 30 minutes. If a workflow needs to run every 3 hours, for example, it would require some creative solutions. One suggestion was to set up multiple copies of the same saved search and set up multiple workflows to run at different times of the day. Another suggestion was to use date/time filters in the saved search criteria, so the search returns results only when the system clock is at a certain time. However, it's important to note that scheduled workflows often run in 15-minute windows, not exactly on the scheduled time frame. Also, the effectiveness of these solutions would depend on what the workflow needs to do. For workflows that perform actions on a record, another suggestion was to store a custom field with the date/time the workflow last performed its action on the record. This could be checked in the search criteria - if it's been at least 3 hours, the record enters the workflow and updates the field to the current time. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
