In addition to immediate workflow actions, which we just covered, you can also create workflow actions that fire in the future. You will need to create a Time Trigger in your Workflow Rule as well. Time-based workflow actions are the same options as those for immediate - New Task, Field Update, Outbound Message and Email Alert.
In this lesson, we visit the Process Automation Settings because it is there that we set the Default Workflow User.

The Time-Based Workflow Queue displays any time-based actions that are set to fire in the future.
In this short lesson, I demonstrate how to mark a task as complete after receiving an alert for it. This is a task that was created via a workflow rule and action for a new task.
