Important Support and updates for Workflow Rules have ended as of December 31, 2025. This means that support won't be provided for any workflow rules and bugs in the Workflow Rules product won't be fixed. See [Workflow Rules & Process Builder End of Support](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=001096524&type=1&language=en_US).

After December 31, 2025, existing workflow rules continue to run, and you can activate, deactivate, and edit them; however we recommend using Flow Builder. To migrate existing workflow rules, plan your [switch to Flow Builder](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_migrate_to_flow_learning_map.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Flow Builder combines the capabilities of workflow rules and Process Builder in a single point-and-click tool, making it easier to create a triggered process. If you created triggered processes with workflow rules or Process Builder, use the Migrate to Flow tool to move them to Flow Builder. Start by migrating and testing in a sandbox environment before moving your new flows to production.") and use the [Migrate to Flow](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_migrate_to_flow.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Use the Migrate to Flow tool to convert your Process Builder processes and workflow rules into Flow Builder, including scheduled actions. The tool also supports partial migration of processes for most actions.") tool. For new automations, create flows in [Flow Builder](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Automation reduces repetitive work and helps your team complete tasks faster and more accurately. With Flow Builder, you can build simple or complex automations, forms, and guided experiences with no code. You can add forms to Salesforce pages and Experience sites, and launch flows using buttons, record triggers, or schedules.").

1. From Setup, enter Time-Based Automations in the Quick Find box, then select **Time-Based Automations**.
2. To view all pending actions for any active workflow rules, click **Search**. Or to view only the pending actions that match the criteria, set the filter criteria and click **Search**.
    
    The filter options are:
    
    - **Workflow Rule Name**: The name of the workflow rule.
    - **Object**: The object that triggered the workflow rule. Enter the object name in the singular form.
    - **Scheduled Date**: The date the pending actions are scheduled to occur.
    - **Create Date**: The date the record that triggered the workflow was created.
    - **Created By**: The user who created the record that triggered the workflow rule.
    - **Record Name**: The name of the record that triggered the workflow rule.
    
    The filter isn’t case-sensitive.

To cancel pending actions:

- Select the box next to the pending actions you want to cancel.
- Click **Delete**.
