Full definition of cron
Cron originated as a Unix tool but the syntax (5 fields: minute, hour, day-of-month, month, day-of-week) is used everywhere now. Tiny Command's Schedule trigger accepts cron expressions. Useful for daily digests, weekly reports, monthly summaries, or any time-based automation. You can also pick from preset schedules ("daily at 9am") without writing cron syntax.

FAQ
Common questions about cron
How do I make a cron job run weekly?
0 9 * * MON for Mondays at 9am. The last field is day-of-week (SUN-SAT or 0-6).
What about timezones?
Tiny Command runs cron jobs in your workspace's configured timezone, not UTC. Set the timezone explicitly in workspace settings.
