# Scheduled tasks (cron)
Recurring tasks using cron. For one-off future runs, use the **delay** option.
## Define a scheduled task
```ts
import { schedules } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";
export const task = schedules.task({
id: "first-scheduled-task",
run: async (payload) => {
payload.timestamp; // Date (scheduled time, UTC)
payload.lastTimestamp; // Date | undefined
payload.timezone; // IANA, e.g. "America/New_York" (default "UTC")
payload.scheduleId; // string
payload.externalId; // string | undefined
payload.upcoming; // Date[]
payload.timestamp.toLocaleString("en-US", { timeZone: payload.timezone });
},
});
```
> Scheduled tasks need at least one schedule attached to run.
## Attach schedules
**Declarative (sync on dev/deploy):**
```ts
schedules.task({
id: "every-2h",
cron: "0 */2 * * *", // UTC
run: async () => {},
});
schedules.task({
id: "tokyo-5am",
cron: { pattern: "0 5 * * *", timezone: "Asia/Tokyo", environments: ["PRODUCTION", "STAGING"] },
run: async () => {},
});
```
**Imperative (SDK or dashboard):**
```ts
await schedules.create({
task: task.id,
cron: "0 0 * * *",
timezone: "America/New_York", // DST-aware
externalId: "user_123",
deduplicationKey: "user_123-daily", // updates if reused
});
```
### Dynamic / multi-tenant example
```ts
// /trigger/reminder.ts
export const reminderTask = schedules.task({
id: "todo-reminder",
run: async (p) => {
if (!p.externalId) throw new Error("externalId is required");
const user = await db.getUser(p.externalId);
await sendReminderEmail(user);
},
});
```
```ts
// app/reminders/route.ts
export async function POST(req: Request) {
const data = await req.json();
return Response.json(
await schedules.create({
task: reminderTask.id,
cron: "0 8 * * *",
timezone: data.timezone,
externalId: data.userId,
deduplicationKey: `${data.userId}-reminder`,
})
);
}
```
## Cron syntax (no seconds)
```
* * * * *
| | | | └ day of week (07 or 1L7L; 0/7=Sun; L=last)
| | | └── month (112)
| | └──── day of month (131 or L)
| └────── hour (023)
└──────── minute (059)
```
## When schedules won't trigger
- **Dev:** only when the dev CLI is running.
- **Staging/Production:** only for tasks in the **latest deployment**.
## SDK management (quick refs)
```ts
await schedules.retrieve(id);
await schedules.list();
await schedules.update(id, { cron: "0 0 1 * *", externalId: "ext", deduplicationKey: "key" });
await schedules.deactivate(id);
await schedules.activate(id);
await schedules.del(id);
await schedules.timezones(); // list of IANA timezones
```
## Dashboard
Create/attach schedules visually (Task, Cron pattern, Timezone, Optional: External ID, Dedup key, Environments). Test scheduled tasks from the **Test** page.
