Cron jobs

Cron jobs run a command inside your project's container on a schedule — nightly cleanups, report generation, cache warming, queue processing.

Creating a job

In Project → Settings, add a cron job with a name, a command (e.g. node scripts/cleanup.js or php artisan schedule:run) and a standard 5-field cron expression: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week.

Wildcards, steps (*/5), ranges (1-5) and lists (1,15) are supported. Each job can be enabled or disabled without deleting it, and the run history shows when it last ran and whether it succeeded.

Examples

*/5 * * * *    every 5 minutes
0 * * * *      every hour, on the hour
0 3 * * *      every day at 03:00
0 9 * * 1      every Monday at 09:00
0 0 1 * *      first day of every month
