Scheduling

Automation in Ordify runs in two modes: scheduling (time-based) and triggers (event-based). Scheduling lets you run jobs automatically at specific times or on a recurring basis — perfect when you know when something needs to happen, even if the exact content varies each run.

Once your apps are connected, you can set up scheduled automations that run without any manual intervention.

When to use scheduling

• Routine reports — generate and send daily or weekly summaries automatically
• Regular maintenance — clean up data, archive old files, or update databases on a schedule
• Predictable tasks — process invoices on the 1st of each month, send reminders every Monday, or run backups every night
• One-time events — execute a job at a specific future date and time

Scheduling is your reliable automation workhorse for predictable, time-dependent workflows.

How to schedule a job

1. Click on Automation → Scheduled Jobs
2. Click Create Schedule
3. Select a job and configure any required inputs
4. Configure the schedule (frequency, time, timezone)
5. Click Create Schedule to finalize

What's next

• Triggers — launch jobs based on real-time events instead of a schedule
• Connect an app — connect the apps your scheduled jobs need access to
