It’s not a very exciting feature and probably would not look as glorious on a roadmap. Yeat, it would make my life with Netlify easier… I’d really love to have an ability to rebuild sites every X hours.

Yeah, tried it. But paying ~15$/m for ability to rebuild website every hour with Zapier seems like too much (I don’t use Zapier for anything else) :slight_smile: I wrote a simple cron service that does POST requests to rebuild my website.

Until Netlify has their own scheduler, https://www.easycron.com works really well and easy to setup. The free plan would easily allow for every couple hours. Just in case anyone is interested, here is how easy a job is to setup. [image] then make it a POST method [image] Get the build hook fro…

I would love the ability to configure individual Netlify functions to run as Cron jobs

@skatkov Another cron alternative, if you want to build every hour for free, you can use IFTTT Date & Time to trigger the webhook

We have an open request to add scheduled deploys and functions (cron tasks), I’ve noted in that more people are asking for it. https://webtask.io/ is a popular option, but they aren’t accepting new signups right now. We use Zapier internally. Thanks for that suggestion @Jinksi .

Just to provide another solution to this, it is easy to use GitHub Actions to schedule builds. You only need to add 1 file to your GitHub repo: .github/workflows/main.yml # .github/workflows/main.yml name: Trigger Netlify Build on: schedule: # Run at 0815 daily - cron: '15 8 * * *' jobs…

I would also love this feature to be integrated into my Netlify Dashboard. I have tried using GitHub actions and it never seems to work correctly if at all. I have had nothing but trouble when I try it that way. I think it would be way better if there was something within my Netlify Dashboard to h…

I’m sure this was free when you posted this but it is apparently no longer available on the free plan. I tried everything exactly how you have it in your screenshots and when I click the “Create Cron Job” button, this pops up… [image]

Hey @cmarabate , There’s a couple of good write-ups online which incorporate GitHub Actions. Does following something like this help? Rest assured, our team are still assessing the feasibility of a feature such as this from within Netlify and we’ll be sure you let you know if and when it’s incorpor…

[image] futuregerald: Zapier Hi, I’m also interested in scheduling builds. I’m currently using Firebase + CircleCI instead of Netlify. I also need to add Zapier to my combo. If Netlify provided Scheduling, I would probably convert to Netlify :slight_smile:
