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).
How to create a schedule
In your project, click “Change schedule”.
You can use one of the presets by clicking on it (e.g. First day of month). Afterwards, 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. It also gives you the option to delete the schedule.
If you want to make any changes, just choose another preset and click “Save” again.
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
