Figranium includes a built-in scheduler that runs tasks automatically without external cron jobs or triggers. Configure schedules visually or with cron expressions.

​
Setting up a schedule

  1. Open any task in the Editor
  2. Click the Schedule tab in the settings panel
  3. Toggle Enable scheduling to activate
  4. Choose your schedule configuration

​
Visual mode

Visual mode provides preset frequencies for common scheduling patterns:
FrequencyOptions
IntervalRun every X minutes (e.g., every 15 minutes)
HourlyRun once per hour at a specific minute
DailyRun once per day at a specific time
WeeklyRun on selected days at a specific time
MonthlyRun on a specific day of the month

​
Example: Daily at 9 AM

  1. Select Daily from the frequency dropdown
  2. Set hour to 9 and minute to 0
  3. Save the task

​
Advanced mode (cron expressions)

For complex schedules, switch to Advanced mode and enter a standard 5-field cron expression: 
┌───────────── minute (0-59)
│ ┌───────────── hour (0-23)
│ │ ┌───────────── day of month (1-31)
│ │ │ ┌───────────── month (1-12)
│ │ │ │ ┌───────────── day of week (0-6, Sunday=0)
│ │ │ │ │

Monitoring schedules

The Schedule tab displays:

Schedules are stored within the task metadata and persist across server restarts. When Figranium starts, it automatically resumes all enabled schedules.
