Schedules are automated user-defined actions, which can be performed through custom functions either at a particular time or on a recurring basis. You can now schedule a custom function to be executed automatically on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

Schedules allow integrating your Recruit data with your company’s website or intranet, any third-party applications, or other Zoho Apps. For example, using schedules you can:

• Periodically sync your contacts with other applications
• Push your Recruit data to your legacy system for data backup.
• Alert your users about any idle candidates or job openings.

Profile Permission Required: Users with the Manage Workflow permissions can configure schedules.

3. Use the Run Now option in the schedule configuration page to manually trigger the scheduled function. You can only trigger the schedule manually twice per day.

Every schedule must be associated with a custom function. You can use our Deluge Script Editor to write your own custom function and schedule it to execute periodically.
