+## Schedule scripts to run automatically
+
+Set your scripts to run every day and keep your workbook up-to-date. Once you have your script, you can set it to automatically run on the workbook at regular intervals. A behind-the-scenes Power Automate flow ensures everything happens, even when the workbook is closed.
+
+To schedule a script, open the script in the Code Editor. Open the **Script scheduling** section and complete the sign in process to Excel through Power Automate. Set how often you want the script to run and select **Create flow** to begin.

 ## Connect Office Scripts to Power Automate
 
 [Power Automate](https://make.powerautomate.com/) is a service that helps you create automated workflows between multiple apps and services. Office Scripts can be used in these workflows, giving you control of your scripts outside of the workbook. You can run your scripts on a schedule, trigger them in response to emails, and much more. Visit the [Run Office Scripts with Power Automate](../tutorials/excel-power-automate-manual.md) tutorial to learn the basics of connecting these automation services.

+## Problems scheduling a script
+
+Scheduling a script requires a business license for Microsoft 365. This is needed for the Power Automate flow that powers the scheduled script. Errors from this flow are shown when there are problems scheduling. You may need to manually update your flow in [Power Automate](https://make.powerautomate.com), where it will be listed under **My flows**.
+
+The following list shows common errors you might encounter.
+
+- **The access token expiry UTC time is earlier than current UTC time.**: Too much time has passed between signing into the service and scheduling the script. Reopen the script in the Code Editor and try to schedule again.
