# Cronjobs

High5 includes **built-in scheduling capabilities** that allow you to automate recurring tasks, such as:

* Data synchronizations
* Watchdog processes
* Backups
* Maintenance routines

You can define exactly **when a workflow should run**, and High5 will execute it reliably and automatically.

#### How to Create a Cronjob

1. Go to **High5 → Cronjobs** and click **Create Job**.

2. Enter the required details:
   * **Name** – a descriptive title for your job
   * **Description** – optional notes about the job’s purpose
   * **Email** – notification address for job status
   * **Event** – choose the workflow or stream this cronjob will execute.
   * **Target** – **Select the execution target** from the dropdown:
     * **Organization Member**
     * **Agent Account**
     * **Agent Pool**
   * **Request Body (JSON) (optional)** – provide custom data to pass to the workflow if needed.

3. Set the **job schedule**:

   * Choose the frequency
   * Optional: adjust advanced settings like **time zone**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.helmut.cloud/high5/spaces-in-high5/cronjobs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
