Fresh Data Without Opening the App
Use the built-in scheduler to run automations on CRON-like schedules, even when RTILA X is closed.
Set It and Forget It
Create a schedule once and let RTILA X maintain a steady flow of fresh data. Recurring tasks are the heart of automation. Price monitors need to run daily, inventory checks may need to run hourly, and weekly reporting tasks often run on a predictable cadence. The RTILA X scheduler turns those one-time workflows into self-sustaining routines.
Once a schedule is configured, the workflow runs without manual triggering. You can close the app, work on other projects, or step away from the computer. The scheduler continues running on your local machine according to the rules you set.
Schedule Types
The scheduler supports common presets and fully custom schedules:
- Every X minutes
- Hourly
- Daily
- Weekly
- Monthly
- Custom CRON expressions
Presets make scheduling approachable for users who do not know CRON syntax. A few clicks select the interval, time of day, and day of week. Custom expressions provide the fine-grained control that advanced users expect.
CRON Expression Support
For advanced scheduling, RTILA X accepts custom CRON expressions in the standard minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week format. This gives you control over exact execution rules that presets cannot express.
For example, a schedule can run at 8:15 a.m. on the first Monday of every month, or every 15 minutes during business hours only. The expression parser validates your input and shows a human-readable preview, so mistakes are easy to catch before the schedule goes live.
Running When RTILA X is Closed
The scheduler can execute workflows even when the main RTILA X window is closed, as long as the host machine is powered on and the background scheduler is enabled. This makes it practical to run automations overnight or on an always-on desktop that is not actively used.
Because execution still happens locally, scheduled runs inherit the same privacy and data-residency guarantees as any other RTILA X workflow. The schedule runs on your machine, not on a third-party cloud worker.
Managing Multiple Schedules
Each project can have its own schedule, and you can toggle schedules on and off independently. This is important when you have many recurring automations: you can pause a non-essential schedule during maintenance, test a new workflow separately, or keep production jobs running while experimenting with new ones.
The schedule list provides a clear overview of what will run and when. You can see next-run times, active state, and last-run results at a glance.
Schedule Monitoring
Scheduled runs produce the same detailed execution logs as manual runs. You can review what happened during each scheduled execution, see any warnings or errors, and identify trends across runs.
If you connect Telegram, you can also receive completion messages after each scheduled run. That way you know whether the workflow delivered fresh data even when you were not watching the app.
CRON-Level Control
Simple presets cover most needs, while custom CRON expressions give advanced users complete control. The scheduler makes recurring data collection dependable without putting a cloud service between you and your data.
