Cron

Package: flyte

Cron-based automation schedule for use with Trigger.

Cron expressions use the standard five-field format: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week

Common patterns:

  • "0 * * * *" — every hour (at minute 0)
  • "0 0 * * *" — daily at midnight
  • "0 0 * * 1" — weekly on Monday at midnight
  • "0 0 1 * *" — monthly on the 1st at midnight
  • "*/5 * * * *" — every 5 minutes
my_trigger = flyte.Trigger(
    name="my_cron_trigger",
    automation=flyte.Cron("0 * * * *"),  # Runs every hour
    description="A trigger that runs every hour",
)
