Custom Schedules

Schedules are automated user-defined actions, which can be performed through custom functions either at a particular time or on a recurring basis. User-defined actions enable creating unique scheduling situations that can be executed periodically based on your requirements.

You can now schedule a custom function such that it is executed automatically on a daily, weekly or monthly intervals.

Schedules allows to integrate your Workerly data with your company’s website/intranet, any third-party applications or other Zoho Apps. For example, using schedules you can

• Periodically sync up your contacts with other applications
• Push your Workerly Data to your legacy system for data-back up purposes.
• Alert the users about any idle candidates or job openings.

You can set schedule frequency either once or on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis with specific date/time and recurring frequency.

To set the schedule frequency

2. Enable the Custom checkbox to run the custom action either on any specific day/month/year along with recurring frequency for your schedule. For example, if you choose to run the schedule every month, you can repeat the schedule on any specific day of the month.
3. Use the Run Now option in the schedule configuration page to manually trigger the scheduled function whenever required. You are allowed to trigger the schedule manually only twice per day.
