How-To: Schedule an App to Run

Overview

Setting Marketplace apps you’ve set up to run on a recurring schedule is a great way to automate tasks you need to accomplish.

Instructions

1. From the left-hand side navigation, select Marketplace. This will show all of the custom apps that are currently set up for the selected customer. 

   

   
   

2. Using the search bar, find the app you would like to adjust the schedule for. From the right-hand side of the App name, under the three dots, choose Executions. Or you can simply click on the name of the app. 

   

3. To add a schedule, click the plus button beneath On A Schedule

   

   
   

4. You may add as many schedules as you desire, but remember that each individual schedule will continue/run regardless of whether the previous run is complete, so if the app runs should not overlap, try adding just a single schedule and learning how long the app typically takes to run before adding others

5. To use the After Another App and create a workflow, refer to the How-To: Set Up a New Workflow documentation.

6. Once you have completed your inputs, you can either Save or Save and Run your app. Save and Run will kick off an immediate execution of the app, and you can QA the app while it is running, or after it is completed using the instructions found in How-To: QA your app, or Save will save your inputs, and your app will run at the next scheduled time you set up in your schedule.
