How do I schedule an automator script to run at a certain time every day?

File a bug report with Apple for lost functionality.

This used to be done through iCalendar and this option is no longer available.

How do I do this?

You can use lauchd to run the script.

Here's an example of an Automator App that I have scheduled to run at 7am daily:

You would save this as com.yourname.plist and put it the the Folder: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ (then log out and back in, or reboot)

(To run a workflow, change open to automator)

(A nice GUI launchd editor is Lingon)
