Run workflows on a schedule

The Scheduler tab runs a saved .weave workflow at a time you choose, with no need to open it and press Run. Use it for a nightly refresh, a morning report, or a one-off run at a set time.

EdgeWeave must be running

Scheduled jobs run inside the EdgeWeave app. If EdgeWeave is closed when a job is due, the run is skipped (a run up to five minutes late is still started). Leave the app open, or minimised, for jobs that matter.

Create a job

1. Open the Scheduler tab.

2. In New Scheduled Job, give the job a Name.

3. Pick the Project and the .weave file to run. Only workflows that exist in that project are listed.

4. Choose how often it runs:

   Mode	Use it for
   Once	One run at a date and time
   Daily	Every day at a time
   Weekly	Chosen weekdays at a time
   Monthly	A day of the month at a time
   Advanced	A cron expression, for example */15 9-17 * * mon-fri for every 15 minutes during working hours on weekdays

5. The form shows the next runs it will produce, so you can check the schedule before you save.

6. Press + Create Job.

Manage jobs

Each job in Scheduled Jobs shows its project and file, the next run time and the result of the last run (Success, Failed, or Never run).

• Run Now starts the job immediately, in addition to its schedule.
• Disable and Enable pause and resume it without losing the schedule.
• History lists previous runs with their status. Open a run to read its log, including any error message.
• The bin icon deletes the job.

A Once job that has already run stays finished: disabling and re-enabling it does not run it again. Use Run Now for a deliberate repeat.

Runs and concurrency

A scheduled run executes the workflow the way Run does, without opening a tab, so anything the workflow does (saving files, writing to a database, calling a model) happens as usual. A run is marked Failed if it ends with an error; the history log shows why.

Only one scheduled run executes at a time by default; other due jobs wait their turn. Change this in Settings > Scheduler > Max concurrent scheduled runs.

Tips

• Test the workflow with Run in the editor first, then schedule it.
• Use Run Now and the history log to confirm a new job works before relying on its first scheduled run.
