Run on a Schedule

Windmill allows you to define Schedules for Scripts and Flows. Once a Schedule is defined, it will automatically run the script at the set frequency. Think of it as an easy-to-use CRON scheduler that you can share with other users.

A Schedule consists of a Script or Flow, its arguments and a CRON expression that controls the execution frequency.
