Cron Scheduler

Run your agents on a recurring schedule using standard cron expressions. Perfect for automated reports, monitoring, and periodic tasks.

How Cron Works

Cron connectors trigger your linked agents automatically based on a schedule you define. When the scheduled time arrives, Connic dispatches a run to all agents linked to the connector. Best for daily/weekly reports, periodic data syncing, scheduled monitoring, and automated notifications.

The schedule uses standard cron expression format with 5 fields:

More Examples

# Every day at midnight
0 0 * * *

# Every hour
0 * * * *

# Every Monday at 9 AM
0 9 * * 1

# Every weekday at 9 AM
0 9 * * 1-5

# Every 15 minutes
*/15 * * * *

# First day of every month at midnight
0 0 1 * *

You can optionally configure a prompt that will be included in the payload sent to your agent on each scheduled run. For example: "Generate the daily sales report for yesterday".
