The original title is "Set It and Forget It: Scheduling Weekly Data Syncs in Retool"

Short summary

A practical walkthrough of building a scheduled Retool Workflow that pulls employee hours from Postgres on AWS RDS and pushes weekly totals into Zoho CRM automatically. The author explains each block — cron trigger, SQL query, payload shaping, loop-based API calls, and ClickUp notification — with real code snippets and gotchas like Zoho rate limits. The pattern is source- and destination-agnostic, making it reusable across any CRM or database Retool supports.

• •Build a weekly cron-triggered Retool Workflow to sync data between systems without manual effort
• •Pattern works with any Retool-supported source (Postgres, MySQL, REST, Airtable) and destination (Zoho, HubSpot, Salesforce)
• •Key gotcha: add delays in loop blocks to avoid CRM API rate limits
