# Create Job

Using the following SDK method, you can create and submit Jobs to trigger [Job Functions](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/serverless/help/functions/job-functions/), Webhooks, [Circuits](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/serverless/help/circuits/introduction/), and [App Sail](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/serverless/help/appsail/introduction/) services. You can also pass optional arguments in the form of JSON key value pairs.

SDK snippet to create and submit Job to trigger:

**Job Function**

```python

    # create function job
function_job = job_scheduling.JOB.submit_job(
    {
        "job_name": "test_job",  # set a name for the job
        "jobpool_name": "test",  # set the name of the function jobpool where the job should be submitted
        "target_type": "Function",  # set the target type as Function for function jobs
        "target_name": "target_function",  # set the target function's name (optional) (either target_id or target_name is mandatory)
        # 'target_id': '123467890', # set the target functions's Id (optional) (either target_id or target_name is mandatory)
        "params": {
            "arg1": "test",
            "arg2": "job",
        },  # set params to be passed to target function (optional)
        "job_config": {
            "number_of_retries": 2,  # set the number of retries
            "retry_interval": 15 * 60,  # set the retry interval
        },  # set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional)
    }
)

```

**Circuit**

```python

    # create circuit job
circuit_job = job_scheduling.JOB.submit_job(
    {
        "job_name": "test_job",  # set a name for the job
        "jobpool_name": "test",  # set the name of the circuit jobpool where the job should be submitted
        "target_type": "Circuit",  # set the target type as Circuit for circuit jobs
        "target_name": "target_circuit",  # set the target circuit's name (optional) (either target_id or target_name is mandatory)
        # 'target_id': '123467890', # set the target circuit's Id (optional) (either target_id or target_name is mandatory)
        "test_cases": {"arg1": "job", "arg2": "test"},  # set the circuit test cases
        "job_config": {
            "number_of_retries": 2,  # set the number of retries
            "retry_interval": 15 * 60,  # set the retry interval
        },  # set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional)
    }
)

```

**Webhook**

```python

    # create webhook job
webhook_job = job_scheduling.JOB.submit_job(
    {
        "job_name": "test_job",  # set a name for the job
        "jobpool_name": "test",  # set the name of the webhook jobpool where the job should be submitted
        "target_type": "Webhook",  # set the target type as Webhook for webhook jobs
        "request_method": "POST",  # set the webhook request's method
        "url": "https://catalyst.zoho.com",  # set the webhook request's url
        "params": {
            "arg1": "test",
            "arg2": "job",
        },  # set the webhook request's query params (optional)
        "headers": {
            "IS_TEST_REQUEST": "true"
        },  # set the webhook request's headers (optional)
        "request_body": "test_request",  # set the webhook request's body (optional)
        "job_config": {
            "number_of_retries": 2,  # set the number of retries
            "retry_interval": 15 * 60,  # set the retry interval
        },  # set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional)
    }
)

```

**AppSail**

```python
 
    # create appsail job
appsail_job = job_scheduling.JOB.submit_job(
    {
        "job_name": "test_job",  # set a name for the job
        "jobpool_name": "test",  # set the name of the AppSail jobpool where the job should be submitted
        "target_type": "AppSail",  # set the target type as AppSail for appsail jobs
        "target_name": "target_appsail",  # set the target appsail's name (optional) (either target_id or target_name is mandatory)
        # 'target_id': '123467890', # set the target appsail's Id (optional) (either target_id or target_name is mandatory)
        "request_method": "POST",  # set the appsail request's method
        "url": "/test",  # set the appsail's url path (optional)
        "params": {
            "arg1": "test",
