Cron syntax

The dashboard often builds a five-field cron from your local wall-clock time and the timezone you selected. The examples below are for when you edit or read the expression directly: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week interpreted in that timezone (often UTC if you left the default).

Examples (interpreted in the job's timezone)

• 0 9 * * * — every day at 09:00
• 0 9 * * 1 — Mondays at 09:00
• */30 * * * * — every 30 minutes
• 0 9 * * 1-5 — weekdays at 09:00

You can validate five-field expressions on crontab.guru—set its timezone to match your dashboard job if needed.
