#Schedule

You can trigger the functions by using a scheduled event. This will execute the function according to the cron expressions you specify.

You can use cron syntax.

The following example is a function configuration in the serverless.yml file that are scheduled to trigger the function crawl every day at 6:30 PM.

functions:
  crawl:
    handler: handler.crawl
    cron: # Setup scheduled trigger with cron expression
      active: true
      value: '30 18 * * *'

#Active Status

You also have the option to set your functions active status as either true or false

Note schedule events active status are set to true by default

This example will create and attach a schedule event for the function crawl which is active status is set to false. If the status is changed to true the crawl function will be called every Monday at 6:00 PM.

functions:
  crawl:
    handler: handler.crawl
    cron: # Setup scheduled trigger with cron expression
      active: false
      value: '* 18 * * 1'

Note When creating a cron trigger the value is the crontab expression. For help on crontab check out the documentation
