Once you've created and published an App Routine, you can set that app routine to repeatedly run based on a schedule you set.
NOTE: The time zone used for the scheduled app routine is the user's timezone if available. If not available, then the account's timezone is used. If the account's timezone is not available, it defaults to Eastern timezone. |
Scheduling an App Routine
When you are viewing the settings of your App Routine, the More Actions button has an option to set a Schedule for the App Routine.
This will take you to a screen where you can set up the schedule for the app routine.
With Schedule, you can choose how often you wish to the app routine to run:
Daily
Every Weekday
Weekly on a particular day of the week
With Time Block, you can set a time period when the app routine will run. Time blocks are separated into two hour chunks. The app routine will run within that two hour time frame.
You can also set the Action Result Inputs for the app routine, however, you cannot set an expected output result.
When you save the schedule, you will be able to view this from the App Routine List for your app.
As you can see from the above image, the My Routine has a calendar icon beside it and when you hover over it, how often it will run is shown.
App Routine Background Queue
When you have created a few app routines, or have installed apps that utilize app routines, you can see all the ones that are scheduled from your Account Settings.
