Jobs
Executing logic periodically is often a crucial part of creating automation. Sometimes you need to execute some logic every day, every 5 minutes or even every first saturday of the month. Within NoCode-X you can define a "Job" for this.
Creating jobs can be done by by navigating to the "job overview" by using the side navigation and then hitting the "create button".
After this you will be able to define:
- Name: Enter the Job name.
- Description: Write a brief overview of the Job's purpose.
- Icon: Choose or upload an icon for recognizability.
- Tags: Add tags for better identification in NoCode-X.
- Frequency: Choose at which frequency to execute the logic linked to the job
- Execution: Choose one or more actions to execute periodically.
