What is a Scheduled Flow and how do you configure it for time-based batch operations?

A Scheduled Flow (also called a Scheduled Path in some contexts) runs on a defined schedule to process a batch of records. Configuration in Flow Builder:
Schedule: Set the start date/time, frequency (once, daily, weekly), and time zone. Supports running at specific times of day.
Object and filter: Specify the object to query and optional filter conditions to narrow which records are processed (e.g., Opportunities where Close Date = TODAY and Stage = "Prospecting").
Batch processing: The flow processes records in batches of up to 200. For each batch, the flow's entire logic executes within a single transaction context.
Common use cases:
— Nightly field updates (e.g., set Overdue flag if Due Date has passed)
— Weekly digest email preparation (populate a reporting DE)
— Escalation logic (change priority after N days without activity)
Limits: Scheduled flows count against the daily flow interview allocation. Large record sets should be filtered to avoid processing millions of records in a single scheduled run — use incremental date filters (LAST_N_DAYS) to scope the batch.
