4. Execution Schedules

The Execution Schedules section automates workflow runs on a fixed or recurring basis — enabling continuous operations like nightly builds, compliance checks, or Terraform drifts without manual intervention.

This feature is available for both Custom and Terraform/OpenTofu workflows, and can manage multiple active schedules simultaneously.

4.1 Overview

The Execution Schedules tab, under Settings, allows users to define, edit, or delete scheduled runs for a workflow.

You can:

Add multiple schedules with different recurrence settings
Enable or disable individual schedules
Apply Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) variables for scheduled runs
Manage or bulk delete schedules

⚙️ Automated schedules ensure workflows execute consistently, improving operational reliability and governance.

4.2 Managing Multiple Schedules

When one or more schedules are created, they appear in a table view.

Feature	Description
Select All	Selects all existing schedules for bulk actions.
Delete Selected	Removes all checked schedules.
Schedule Name	Each schedule is listed with a unique name (e.g., Schedule 1).
Add Schedules +	Opens the configuration form for creating a new schedule.
Clone Schedules	Clone existing schedules for more flexibility and ease

manage

Each schedule can be individually toggled, edited, or deleted.

This multi-schedule feature is especially helpful for workflows that require different run cadences — for instance:

Daily: Terraform plan validation
Weekly: Security compliance check
Monthly: Cost optimization audit

4.3 Adding or Editing a Schedule

Click Add Schedules + (or edit an existing one) to open the schedule configuration form.

Field	Description
Enabled	Toggles the schedule on or off.
Description	Optional field for identifying the purpose of the schedule.
Schedule*	Defines recurrence — choose between preset or custom intervals.

4.4 Schedule Frequency Options

Option	Description
Weekly	Runs every Monday at 12:00 (noon).
Daily	Runs every day at 12:00 (noon).
Every 6 Hours	Runs at 00:00, 06:00, 12:00, and 18:00 UTC.
Every 2 Hours	Runs at 2-hour intervals.
Custom	Allows defining an advanced cron expression.

💡 The system automatically converts UTC-based times into your local timezone for preview.

4.5 Custom Schedule (Cron Syntax)

When Custom is selected, detailed cron (UTC+0) fields appear.

You can define each time unit manually for complete flexibility.

Field	Description
Minutes	Minute(s) of execution (0–59).
Hours	Hour(s) of execution (0–23).
Day of Month	Days to execute (1–31 or * for all).
Month	Month(s) of execution (1–12 or JAN–DEC).
Day of Week	Days of the week (0–6 or SUN–SAT).
Year	Optional, to limit runs to specific years.

cron

Below the cron fields, a Next 5 Iterations section automatically displays upcoming scheduled run times in both UTC and local timezone.

Example:

Minutes: 0
Hours: 11
Day of Month: *
Month: *
Day of Week: ?
Year: *

Result:

Runs daily at 11:00 UTC (12:00 Europe/Rome).

Cron scheduling allows precise timing for maintenance windows, testing cycles, or recurring operations.

4.6 IaC Variables

The IaC Variables section defines environment-specific variables used during scheduled runs.

When enabled, a JSON editor appears — allowing you to write or paste variable definitions directly in structured format.

Example:

{
  "environment": "production",
  "region": "us-east-1",
  "backup_enabled": true}

These variables are passed into the workflow at runtime, ensuring consistent configuration across all scheduled executions.

Field	Description
IaC Variables Toggle	Enables or disables custom variable injection.
Code Editor	Define JSON-formatted variable sets.

This feature is especially useful for Terraform and Ansible workflows where variable consistency across time-based runs is critical.

4.7 Schedule Management Actions

Each existing schedule can be controlled directly from the main list:

Action	Description
Edit	Modify frequency, description, or variables.
Delete	Permanently remove a schedule.
Duplicate	Clone an existing schedule configuration for reuse.
Enable / Disable Toggle	Temporarily pause or resume a schedule without deleting it.

These controls streamline workflow lifecycle automation and simplify complex scheduling setups.
