Pertanyaan yang sering ditanyakan

Semua yang perlu kamu ketahui tentang Cron Expression Builder.

What is a cron expression?

A cron expression is a 5-field string that defines a recurring schedule for automated tasks. Each field represents: minute (0–59), hour (0–23), day of month (1–31), month (1–12), and day of week (0–6). The '*' wildcard means 'every valid value'.

What does */5 mean?

The slash (/) means 'step'. */5 in the minute field means 'every 5th minute' — i.e., at minutes 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55.

Why are GitHub Actions crons in UTC?

GitHub Actions runs on UTC time. The schedule trigger uses a standard 5-field cron in UTC, so if your local timezone is IST (+5:30), you need to subtract 5:30 from your local time when writing the cron.

Can I use both DOM and DOW?

When both the day-of-month (DOM) and day-of-week (DOW) fields are set (not *), cron uses OR logic — meaning the job runs if EITHER condition matches.
