Scheduling Automated Data Extraction and Processing
This article provides a step-by-step guide for enabling automated data extraction and processing in zapAnalytics using the scheduler.
What is the Scheduler in zapAnalytics?
The scheduler enables zapAnalytics to run automated data extraction and processing on a regular basis. Instead of having to start each extraction manually using the web interface, once the scheduler is set up, the process will run automatically at certain times (e.g. every first day of the month).
Create a Schedule
-
Open your project and click “Change schedule”.

-
You can use one of the presets by clicking on it (e.g. First day of month).
-
Click “Save” to activate the schedule.

The text at the top of the page will show the next time an automated data processing is planned.
Change or Delete an Active Schedule
- Open your project and click “Change schedule” again.
-
To adapt the schedule, choose another preset and click “Save” again.
- To cancel the schedule, click "Delete schedule" above the presets.
Custom Schedules
If you want to create a custom schedule other than the presets by using a so-called cron expression, contact us for more information and assistance at support@zapliance.com.
