How to automatically trigger Collibra workflow based on predefined schedule?

Question

I’m looking for a way to automatically trigger a workflow based on a predefined schedule (CRON). The workflow will update assets based on predefined criteria. Is there an example available out there that I can use for a reference?

Thank you,
