SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Convex cron jobs provide a reliable way to schedule recurring functions, enabling automated background workflows within Convex applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Supports crons.interval and crons.cron patterns to schedule internal functions for periodic execution.
  • Enables data synchronization, cleanup tasks, reporting, and maintenance jobs with predictable timing and monitoring.
  • Demonstrates secure usage by invoking internal functions and wiring up arguments, logging, and error handling for production readiness.

Quick Start

Define a cron schedule with crons.interval or crons.cron to run internal functions on a schedule.

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule recurring background tasks in Convex?

Schedule recurring background tasks in Convex by defining internal functions and wiring them with crons.interval for fixed intervals or crons.cron for cron expressions to automate workflows.

What is the difference between crons.interval and crons.cron in Convex?

crons.interval runs internal functions at fixed, predictable time gaps, while crons.cron uses standard cron expressions for more complex, specific scheduling patterns in your Convex application.

How do I securely run automated maintenance jobs in Convex?

Securely run automated maintenance jobs in Convex by invoking internal functions directly within your cron jobs, ensuring that scheduled cleanup and synchronization tasks are not exposed to public clients.

Can I pass arguments to scheduled internal functions in Convex?

Yes, you can pass arguments to scheduled internal functions in Convex. The cron scheduling patterns support wiring up arguments for your recurring data synchronization and reporting tasks.

Does Convex support monitoring and error handling for cron jobs?

Convex supports monitoring and error handling for cron jobs by demonstrating logging and production-ready error management patterns within the scheduled internal functions for maintenance and reporting.

When should I use Convex cron jobs for background workflows?

Use Convex cron jobs for background workflows when you need predictable timing for data synchronization, cleanup tasks, reporting, and maintenance jobs within your Convex application architecture.
