Scheduler

Last update: July 26, 2024

The Scheduler activity is a Flow control activity. It allows you to schedule when the composition gets started. This activity should be considered as a scheduled start. It can only be used as the first activity of the composition.

If you have configured a connection to the Federated Audience Composition destination, you can use this activity to send over Adobe Experience Platform audiences at regular frequencies. Learn how to enrich Adobe Experience Platform audiences with external data

Configure the Scheduler activity

Follow these steps to configure the Scheduler activity:

  1. Add a Scheduler activity to your composition.

  2. Configure the Execution frequency:

    • Once: the composition is executed a single time.

    • Daily: the composition is executed at a specific time, once a day.

    • Several times a day: the composition is regularly executed several times a day. You can set up executions at specific times or periodically.

      NOTE
      Do not schedule a composition to run more than every 15 minutes as it may impede overall system performance and create blocks in the database.

    • Weekly: the composition is executed at a specified moment, once or several times a week.

    • Monthly: the composition is executed at a specified moment, once or several times a month. You can select months, when you need the composition to be executed. You can also set up executions on specified week days of the month, such as the second Tuesday of the month.

  3. Define the execution details according to the frequency selected. The detail fields may vary depending on the frequency used (time, repetition frequency, specified days, etc.).

  4. Click Preview launch times to check the schedule of the next ten executions of your composition.

  5. Define the validity period of the scheduler:

    • Permanent (never expires): the composition is executed, according to the frequency specified, without any limits to the time frame or number of iterations.

    • Validity period: the composition is executed according to the frequency specified, up until a specific date. You need to specify start and end dates.

NOTE
If you want to start the composition right away, you can click the Execute pending task in the scheduler’s top action bar. This button is only available when you have started the composition.
