Schedules

Schedules run tests without any human trigger. Pick a recurring cron cadence or a one-time date, point it at a test, directory, or tag, and SmoothDeploy fires the run for you.

Permissions

All roles can view schedules and trigger, pause, or resume them. Admins and owners can also create, edit, and delete schedules. See Roles and permissions.

The list shows every schedule for the active project. Click any row to open the detail page.

Fields

Field	Notes
Schedule Name	Required. Max 64 characters.
Branch	Which branch to run tests from. Defaults to your current active branch.
Schedule Type	Single Test, Directory, or Tag — see below.
Target	Shown after picking a type. Only active tests or directories with at least one step appear. For Tag, only tags that have at least one test appear.
Schedule Mode	Recurring (repeats on a cron) or One-time (fires once).
Recurring Pattern	Preset or custom. See below.
Run At (UTC)	For One-time mode: a date (today through three months out) and a time. The scheduled time must be in the future.
Test Configuration	Browser, mode, timeouts, retries, workers, video, trace, screenshot.

Schedule Types

Single Test — runs one leaf test. Only active tests with at least one step are listed.
Directory — runs every leaf test inside a directory. Only active directories are listed.
Tag — runs every test that carries the selected tag.

Recurring Patterns

Choose Preset to pick from four common cadences, or Custom to type a cron expression directly.

Preset	Cron produced
Daily at midnight	`0 0 * * *`
Daily at...	`0 {hour} * * *`
Weekly on...	`0 {hour} * * {weekday}`
Monthly on...	`0 {hour} {day} * *`

Custom format: five space-separated fields — minute hour day month weekday. All times are UTC. Use * for "any".

Examples:

0 9 * * * — every day at 09:00 UTC
0 0 * * 1 — every Monday at midnight UTC
30 14 1 * * — 1st of every month at 14:30 UTC
