Scheduled Functions

Put any backend function on a timer: weekly digests, reminder emails, content drip, expiry sweeps, nightly clean-ups. Create schedules in Config → Monetization → Schedules, or just ask the AI (“run weeklyDigest every Monday at 9”).

A schedule = a cron expression + a function name. Runs are queued and cluster-safe (exactly one fire per tick, even across multiple servers). Timezone is per-schedule.

What your function receives

// params on a scheduled run:
//   params.event  = { type: 'schedule', scheduleId, cron, firedAt }
//   params.config = the params object saved on the schedule (if any)
const { rows } = await ctx.service.tables.getRows('Reminders', { limit: 100 });
for (const r of rows.filter((x) => x.dueToday)) {
  await ctx.email.send({ to: r.email, subject: 'Reminder', html: r.body });
}
return { sent: rows.length };

Cron cheat-sheet

Expression	Meaning
/15 * * *	Every 15 minutes
0 * * * *	Every hour
0 9 * * *	Daily at 9:00
0 9 * * 1	Mondays at 9:00
0 0 1 * *	Monthly, on the 1st

Write scheduled functions to be safe if a run is delayed or repeated — check state in tables instead of assuming exact timing. Retries follow the function’s own maxRetries setting (default: run once).
