Schedule	Expression
Every minute	`* * * * *`

Every day at midnight	`0 0 * * *`

Choose a schedule

Use Validate in the form to check the expression and preview the next run before saving. The form also includes presets for every minute, every five, ten, or thirty minutes, every hour, daily at midnight, and weekly schedules.

Design for the schedule

Keep the work idempotent. A manual trigger or operational repeat should not duplicate the result.
Move long work into a queue and return a success response after the request is accepted.
Make the endpoint safe at the frequency you choose.
Use a project association when the job belongs to one project and should appear in its access scope.

Time and next run

Pxxl calculates the next run when the job is saved or updated. Check the next run shown in the job detail before enabling a production schedule.
