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 the task editor

Open any task in the Editor.
2

Open the Schedule tab

Click the Schedule tab in the settings panel.
3

Enable scheduling

Toggle Enable scheduling to activate the scheduler.
4

Choose your schedule configuration

Select visual presets or switch to advanced mode and enter a cron expression.

​
Visual mode

Visual mode provides preset frequencies for common scheduling patterns:

​
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:

​
Common cron examples

Cron expressions use the standard 5-field format: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week. Use * for “every” and ranges like 1-5 for weekdays.

​
Monitoring schedules

The Schedule tab displays:
  • Next run: When the task will execute next
  • Last run: When the task last executed, including status and duration

​
Persistence

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

​
Schedule API

Manage schedules programmatically via the REST API: See the REST API reference for full details.
