Scheduled tasks

Scheduled tasks send HTTP requests to automation endpoints on a cron schedule and retain run state for operators.

For step-by-step dashboard instructions, see Task scheduling.

Common uses

  • Configuration audits
  • Inventory exports
  • Certificate rotation workflows
  • Calls to external maintenance automation

Requirements

  • HTTPS endpoint tested in staging
  • Receiving handler is authenticated and idempotent
  • Schedule defined in cron syntax with an explicit timezone

For guarded command execution across selected devices, use fleet jobs instead of a webhook task.
