Schedule events for the Triggers service at specific times or on recurring schedules. Use the Scheduler service to automate time-based actions like seasonal rewards, announcements, or routine maintenance tasks.

This information covers schedules that fire at moments you define in advance for a whole environment. To run logic a set time after a specific player interaction, such as a turn timer, a cooldown, or offline progression, use timers instead. Refer to Timers in Stateful Cloud Code.

Create scheduled events that fire once, on a recurring cadence, or on a fixed interval using the graphical interface of the Unity Dashboard.

Schedule events with the CLI

Create schedule configurations from the command line using the Unity Gaming Services command-line interface.

Schedule events with the REST API

Create schedule configurations that emit events at set or recurring moments using the REST API.

Manage your schedules

View, inspect, and delete schedules in the Unity Dashboard, regardless of which method you used to create the schedule.
