    Hi Anjali,

    Time-dependent actions are executed at a specific time, or time triggers are used when we need to execute workflow actions at certain time-based scenarios for example If we need to send an email to an employee 6 days after he joined Or if we need to update a field or send an outbound message, two hours after the Lead has been qualified.

    Hi Anjali,

    a.Basically , a Time trigger uses standard and custom date and date/time fields defined for the object.

    b.Specify time using days and hours.

    c.The valid range is 0 to 999 days or hours.

    But there are some limitations using time trigger as mentioned below:

    1.Time triggers don’t support minutes or seconds.
    2.Time triggers can’t reference the following:DATE or DATETIME fields containing automatically derived functions, such as TODAY or NOW.
