Schedules

Ask for a follow-up or a recurring task in plain words or cron, and understand what survives a restart and what happens to late runs.

A schedule makes RevampKey come back to a task on its own. You describe when in plain words or with a cron expression, and the run happens in the same project, with the context it already has.

  1. Say what and when

    Write it the way you would tell a colleague, such as "every weekday at 9, check yesterday's bookings and flag anything odd" or "check back in 5 minutes and tell me if the deploy finished". A cron expression works too.

  2. Check how it was read

    The schedule shows when it will run and the next run time. If the timing is not what you meant, correct it before relying on it.

  3. Choose how long it lasts

    An Always schedule survives restarting the app. A This window follow-up ends when you close the window, and the app says so when it is created.

  4. Review the result

    When a run happens, what it found is posted back to you. Treat it like any other result: check it against the project before acting on it.
