Create a Cron Using Cron Expressions

Use this SDK to implement crons to schedule the submission of jobs to job pools. However, the configuration of the cron will be defined using regex-like expressions called Cron Expressions.

Note: In the following SDK, the cron has been configured using Cron Expressions, to submit a job to the job pool on 0Hrs 0Mins 0Secs on every 1st day of the week on the 1st month of every year. You can change this value as per your requirement by passing the relevant value to the cron_expression JSON key-value pair.

Note: We urge you to use this SDK to configure only Dynamic Crons. Use the UI Builder to configure Pre-defined Crons.
