What This Skill Covers
- Cron Triggers allow users to map a cron expression to a Worker using a scheduled() handler that enables Workers to be executed on a schedule.
- Main sections:
Background,Add a Cron Trigger,1\. Define a scheduled event listener,2\. Update configuration,Via the Wrangler configuration file.
Workflow
- Open the most relevant file under
docs/for the exact documented workflow and wording. - Open
schemas/files for exact structured contracts. - Open
examples/files for concrete requests, commands, snippets, and manifests. - Do not add behavior or configuration that is not present in the attached source files.
