Scheduling

Configure standard recurring syncs or advanced plans with timed steps, automated captures, and event triggers.

Enable periodic runs in Settings → Scheduling.

Standard scheduling

Use this for simple recurring syncs.

It applies one cadence to all enabled pairs.

The new Standard Scheduler replaces the old basic scheduler with a guided wizard.

Instead of showing every timing field at once, it works in two steps:

1. Choose a frequency.

2. Fill in the one extra timing field that matches that choice.

This keeps irrelevant inputs off the screen.

Current plan

The top of the wizard shows a live Current plan summary.

It updates as you change the schedule.

Use it to confirm the schedule in plain language before saving.

Frequency options

Every hour

Runs once at the top of every hour.

No extra timing field is needed.

Every N hours

Runs on a repeating hour-based interval.

Set how many hours to wait between runs.

Use this when hourly is too frequent, but once per day is too slow.

Daily at

Runs once per day at a specific local time.

Set a time like 03:30.

Custom

Runs on a custom repeat interval in minutes or hours.

Use this when the built-in hourly or daily options do not fit.

Custom schedule rules

• Minimum interval: 15 minutes

• Units: minutes or hours

• Intervals under 1 hour show a warning in the UI

Intervals shorter than 1 hour can look like aggressive polling to provider APIs.

That may be treated as API abuse and can risk throttling or a ban.

Recommendation

Start with Daily at for most setups.

Use Every N hours when you need a shorter repeat window.

Advanced scheduling

Advanced Scheduling is the power-user mode.

Use it when one simple recurring timer is not enough.

Think of it like this:

• Standard Scheduling: one simple recurring sync plan

• Advanced Scheduling: multiple automations in one place

Use it when you need:

• per-pair timing

• timed step ordering

• automated captures

• event-based triggers

The advanced panel also includes a live Current plan summary.

It shows how many timed steps, capture schedules, and event triggers are configured.

It also tells you whether the plan is active, ready, or needs attention.

For the full setup, see Advanced scheduling.

Which mode to use

• Use Standard Scheduling for simple recurring syncs.

• Use Advanced Scheduling when you need multiple jobs, captures, event-driven behavior, or a more structured automation workflow.
