Hey everyone! I wanted to start a discussion about Scheduling workflows: cron vs webhook triggers.
What are your thoughts and experiences? I'd love to hear how others in the community are handling this.

To answer your question, I think cron triggers are perfect for time-based workflows, but webhooks are better suited for event-driven workflows. For example, I use a webhook trigger to run a workflow whenever a new file is uploaded to my S3 bucket.
I've had good luck with webhooks for event-driven workflows. Does anyone have experience with using cron triggers for workflows that need to run at very specific times, like every 5 minutes?
Great topic! 🔥 I've been using cron triggers for most of my workflows, but I'm curious to hear about the use cases where webhook triggers make more sense.
Regarding cron triggers for frequent workflows, I've found that it's better to use a queueing system to avoid overloading the system. @John, have you considered using a message broker like RabbitMQ?
I'm a newbie to WebNutch and I'm trying to schedule my first workflow. Can someone explain the difference between cron and webhook triggers in simple terms?
