Crons

Crons are scheduled jobs on Cloud. They run on UTC, in the backend — not in the visitor’s browser, and not as a URL you should call from the website.

Create

Empty state: No crons yet. Chat creates scheduled jobs when this site needs them.

Every morning at 09:00 UTC, email me a count of new waitlist rows.

Names are short DNS labels: lowercase, digits, hyphens, max 32 characters.

Schedule

Five-field cron, UTC, plus aliases:

Edit the schedule in the row dialog (placeholder */5 * * * *). Toggle Enabled without deleting the job.

Code

The handler is TypeScript in the form:

export default async () => {
  // ...
};

It is not a Hono route. Internally the platform hits /_cron/{name} with x-cron-trigger: 1. Do not call that path from the site.

Chat can run a cron once when you are testing. The builder UI edits schedule, enabled, and source — it does not include a “Run now” button.

Last run

The table shows last run time and status. Use that to see whether a job is actually firing after you enable Cloud.
