Quickstart Guide

This guide walks you through creating your first scheduled job in under five minutes.

Step 1: Create a Job

Navigate to Jobs in the sidebar and click New Job.

Click Create to save the job.

Step 2: Create a Schedule

Navigate to Schedules and click New Schedule.

Click Create. The schedule's next run time will be calculated automatically.

Step 3: Monitor Executions

Go to Executions to see your job running. Each execution shows:

• Status — pending, running, success, failure, or timeout
• Duration — how long the execution took
• Status Code — the HTTP response code (for HTTP jobs)
• Scheduled For — when the execution was supposed to run
• Started At / Completed At — actual timing

Step 4: Trigger Manually

You can trigger a job immediately without waiting for the schedule:

1. Go to Jobs and find your job.
2. Click the Trigger button.
3. A new execution will appear with trigger type manual.

Step 5: Set Up an Alert

Navigate to Alerts > Rules and click New Rule.

Save the rule, then navigate to Alerts > Subscriptions and click New Subscription. Select the rule.fired event type, optionally filter to my-api-ping, add a notification channel, and save. You'll be notified after 3 consecutive failures.
