Timer

The schedule-flows crate offers the ability to schedule a task.

Features

• Cron Scheduling : The library offers the schedule_cron_job function that accepts cron expressions for scheduling tasks​.
• Integration Ready : It integrates with Flows Network's API and it can be used in combination with other services supported on the platform​​.
• Ease of Use : With simple syntax, you can create tasks like sending a message to a Slack channel at a specific time daily​.

Usage

The minimum interval of events triggered by schedule-flows is one hour. To use Schedule Flows, import the necessary functions and define the task:

use schedule_flows::schedule_cron_job;
use slack_flows::send_message_to_channel;

#[no_mangle]
#[tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread")]
pub async fn run() {
    schedule_cron_job(String::from("50 8 * * *"), String::from("cron_job_evoked"), |body| {
        send_message_to_channel(
            "myworkspace",
            "mychannel",
            String::from_utf8_lossy(&body).into_owned(),
        ).await
    }).await;
}

This example sets up a cron job that sends a message to a Slack channel at 8:50 UTC daily.
