# Cronjobs

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

* Data synchronizations

* Backups
* Maintenance routines

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

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 Pool**
   * **Request Body (JSON) (optional)** – provide custom data to pass to the workflow if needed.
