Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Use your project-specific Secret API key. Will start with tr_dev_, tr_prod, tr_stg, etc.

You can find your Secret API key in the API Keys section of your Trigger.dev project dashboard.

Our TypeScript SDK will default to using the value of the TRIGGER_SECRET_KEY environment variable if it is set. If you are using the SDK in a different environment, you can set the key using the configure function.

import { configure } from "@trigger.dev/sdk";

configure({ accessToken: "tr_dev_1234" });

Body

application/json
​
task
string
required
​
cron
string
required
​
deduplicationKey
string
required
​
externalId
string
​
timezone
string

Defaults to "UTC". In IANA format ("America/New_York"). If set then it will trigger at the CRON frequency in that timezone and respect daylight savings time.

Example:

"America/New_York"

Response

Schedule created successfully

​
id
string

The unique ID of the schedule, prefixed with 'sched_'

Example:

​
task
string

The id of the scheduled task that will be triggered by this schedule

Example:

"my-scheduled-task"

​
type
string

The type of schedule, DECLARATIVE or IMPERATIVE. Declarative schedules are declared in your code by setting the cron property on a schedules.task. Imperative schedules are created in the dashboard or by using the imperative SDK functions like schedules.create().

Example:

"IMPERATIVE"

​
active
boolean

Whether the schedule is active or not

Example:

true

​
deduplicationKey
string

The deduplication key used to prevent creating duplicate schedules

Example:

"dedup_key_1234"

​
externalId
string

The external ID of the schedule. Can be anything that is useful to you (e.g., user ID, org ID, etc.)

Example:

"user_1234"

​
generator
object

timezone
string

Defaults to UTC. In IANA format, if set then it will trigger at the CRON frequency in that timezone and respect daylight savings time.

Example:

"America/New_York"

​
