Scheduled Workflows
Last updated
What is Scheduled Workflows?
Scheduled workflows run automatically at specified times using cron syntax under the schedule trigger in a workflow file. This is useful for recurring tasks like nightly builds, periodic cleanup jobs, or fetching data on a regular interval. GitHub runs scheduled workflows based on UTC time, and there can be a slight delay depending on runner availability.
