Using API to schedule task or plan runs

Use schedule dedicated API endpoints to easily arrange how and when a task or plan can be executed with multiple triggers.

Using a schedule to organize your task runs

Create a schedule, add triggers, simulate the upcoming events based on this schedule, associate the schedule with a task and if needs be, reuse this schedule for more tasks.
