Tasks

Run logic on a schedule or in the background for jobs that should not block an API response.

How to create a scheduled task

Open the Tasks screen

Go to Tasks from the sidebar and click New Task.

Set how it runs

Give your task a name. Add a frequency such as every 5 minutes, every hour, or every day, or leave it as a manual task that only runs on demand.

Build the function

Use the same function editor you use for endpoints. Add database queries, API calls, email sends, or any other backend steps the task needs.

Good to know

Tasks can run in the main API process or in a background process with resource limits. Use background execution for slower jobs that should not block normal API traffic.
