Managing schedules

​
Viewing schedules

All schedules for a tool are visible on the tool details page. Each schedule shows:
  • Cron expression and human-readable description
  • Timezone
  • Next scheduled run time
  • Last run time and status
  • Enable/disable toggle

​
Modifying schedules

Click on any schedule to modify:
  • Change the cron expression
  • Update the timezone
  • Modify the input payload
  • Enable or disable the schedule

​
Deleting schedules

Remove a schedule by clicking the delete button. This stops all future executions but preserves historical run logs.

​
Execution behavior

  • Reliability: Schedules are executed by a dedicated scheduler service with automatic failover
  • Logging: Every scheduled execution creates a run record with full logs
  • Source tracking: Scheduled runs are labeled with source SCHEDULE in the runs table
  • Error handling: Failed scheduled runs are logged but don’t automatically retry (configure retries in the schedule options)

​
Advanced options

When creating a schedule, expand “Advanced Options” to configure:
  • Retries: Number of retry attempts (0-10) for failed API calls
  • Timeout: Maximum execution time in milliseconds
  • Webhook: Send execution results to a URL or trigger another tool when complete
