Scheduler Connector

🔌 Scheduler Connector

The Scheduler allows for the automation of runbooks based on a fixed recurring basis or via schedules created programmatically during runtime.

⚡ Triggers

Scheduler

Defines a recurring schedule to fire a runbook at regular intervals, such as hourly or daily.

Dynamic Scheduler

Executes runbooks based on schedules that are created or managed programmatically at runtime.

⚡ Actions

Create Schedule

Programmatically creates a new recurring schedule for a specified target runbook.

Update Schedule

Modifies the timing, frequency, or recurrence settings of an existing schedule.

Delete Schedule

Removes an existing schedule using its unique reference identifier.

📥 Input Parameters

• schedule (Recurrence, required): The definition of frequency, interval, day, time, and time zone.
• runbook_uuid (String, required for Create): The unique identifier of the runbook to be scheduled.
• schedule_reference (String, required): A unique identifier used to manage, update, or delete the schedule.
• request_body (Hash, optional): An optional payload to include with each scheduled trigger event.

📤 Output

• triggered_at: The timestamp of when the trigger event occurred.
• next_occurrence_at: The next scheduled execution time for the created schedule.
• success (Boolean): Indicates whether a delete or update action was successful.

📌 Use Cases

• Periodic Syncing: Running daily data synchronizations between different systems.
• Health Checks: Performing scheduled status polling or health checks on services.
• Lifecycle Management: Programmatically managing recurring automations based on external events.

⚠️ Notes

• Provisioning: The standard Scheduler trigger creates a schedule upon provisioning and removes it upon deprovisioning.
• Soft Delete: The "Delete Schedule" action performs a soft-delete, marking the schedule as deleted rather than permanently removing it.
• Scheduling Delays: The actual wait duration or trigger time may be slightly longer than requested due to internal system scheduling.
