Schedules
In addition to sending a message once, you can create a schedule, and we will
publish the message in the given period. To create a schedule, you simply need
to add the Upstash-Cron
header to your publish
request.
Schedules can be configured using cron
expressions.
crontab.guru is a great tool for understanding and
creating cron expressions.
We use UTC
as timezone when evaluating cron expressions.
The following request would create a schedule that will automatically publish the message every minute:
All of the other config options can still be used.
It can take up to 60 seconds for the schedule to be loaded on an active node and triggered for the first time.
You can see and manage your schedules in the Upstash Console.
Scheduling to a URL Group
Instead of scheduling a message to a specific URL, you can also create a schedule, that publishes to a URL Group. Simply use either the URL Group name or its id:
Scheduling to a Queue
You can schedule an item to be added to a queue at a specified time.
Overwriting an existing schedule
You can pass scheduleId explicitly to overwrite an existing schedule or just simply create the schedule with the given schedule id.
