Daily Task Activation/Deactivation Workflow

This workflow is ideal for:

• Business Owners who want to automate their workflow activities during business hours.
• Project Managers looking for efficient scheduling of tasks without manual intervention.
• Developers who use n8n for automation and need to manage workflows based on specific time triggers.
• Teams that require regular activation and deactivation of workflows to optimize resource usage.

This workflow addresses the challenge of managing workflow activity times effectively. It automates the activation of a workflow at 08:00 AM and deactivates it at 08:00 PM daily, ensuring that the workflow operates only during business hours, thereby optimizing performance and resource allocation.

1. Schedule Trigger for Activation: The workflow begins with a schedule trigger set to activate at 08:00 AM daily. This ensures that the workflow starts functioning at the beginning of the business day.

2. Set Workflow ID: The workflow ID is assigned, which is crucial for identifying which workflow to activate or deactivate.

3. Merge Workflow ID for Activation: The workflow ID is merged into the activation process, preparing it for the activation node.

4. Activate Workflow: The n8n node activates the specified workflow using the provided workflow ID.

5. Schedule Trigger for Deactivation: At 08:00 PM daily, another schedule trigger deactivates the workflow, ensuring it doesn't run outside business hours.

6. Merge Workflow ID for Deactivation: Similar to the activation process, the workflow ID is merged for the deactivation node.

7. Deactivate Workflow: The n8n node deactivates the specified workflow, preventing any tasks from running after business hours.
