Creating a Schedule

Introduction

Schedules in Communication Cloud Service decide when a Batch is available for execution. It defines the frequency and / or the time at which the Batch would be ready for execution, thereby ensuring that they execute consistently. It helps you to optimize resources by executing jobs during off-peak hours and supporting complex timing requirements. Scheduling also improves reliability and monitoring, making batch processing efficient and aligned with business operations.
