To automate these jobs, you can configure a **sync schedule** in the UI so jobs run automatically without manual intervention. Scheduling is powered by **UNIX-style CRON expressions**, which determine when asynchronous jobs are triggered. CRON expressions can be configured directly through the UI. For example, the following expression would trigger every day at 12:00am UTC: ``` cron(0 0 * * *) ``` # How to configure the sync schedule ## Customizing schedules for Default tenant Sync schedules are configured from the Jobs section in the flow by selecting **Edit Schedule**. Edit Schedule Default Then click the arrow to navigate to the **Select Schedule Type** page. Access Edit Schedule Default From here, you can choose how often jobs should run and how the schedule is defined. hotglue supports three schedule types in the UI: **Fixed**, **Interval**, and **CRON**. Select Schedule Type Default ***Fixed schedule*** A Fixed schedule triggers jobs at a specific time on a recurring basis. You can configure jobs to run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. For schedules that require a time, jobs will always run at the selected time. Fixed Schedule ***Interval schedule*** An Interval schedule triggers jobs after a defined amount of time has passed. Jobs can be set to run every specified number of minutes or hours. Each run is scheduled relative to the previous run. Interval Schedule ***CRON expression*** A CRON expression schedule allows you to define a custom schedule using a UNIX-style CRON expression entered directly in the UI. This option is evaluated in UTC and is intended for advanced scheduling needs. CRON Expression ## Customizing schedules for tenants To configure a sync schedule for a specific tenant, first navigate to the desired tenant. Select Tenant View From here, open the relevant flow and click **Edit Schedule** in the Jobs section. Edit Schedule for Tenant Then click the arrow to navigate to the **Select Schedule Type** page and you can choose the desired **Schedule Type** for the tenant. # API To configure a sync schedule via the API, head to the [schedule endpoint docs](https://docs.hotglue.com/reference/jobs-schedule). ## Granular sync schedules [](https://docs.hotglue.com/docs/jobs-scheduling#granular-sync-schedules) You can use the API to configure any cron expression as a sync schedule. This is often helpful if you need jobs more frequent than hourly. You can use this to create a schedule for **default** tenant or any individual tenant. ## Schedule jitter Default schedules can include `schedule_jitter_minutes` to spread inherited tenant schedules across a random offset. Set an integer from `1` to `720`; use `null` to clear it. Jitter only applies when tenants inherit the **default** schedule. It does not change schedules created directly for individual tenants. ## Ignoring default credentials [](https://docs.hotglue.com/docs/jobs-scheduling#ignoring-default-credentials) If you want to **avoid running scheduled jobs for your default credentials**, but are using your default sync schedule to cascade to new tenants, you can use the API to create a sync schedule for your **default** tenant and set `"state" = "disabled"` This will continue to apply your sync schedule to new tenants but will avoid running scheduled jobs with your default credentials.
