We’ve updated schedule triggers for the GitHub App integration to use standard CRON format instead of our CircleCI-specific scheduling format.
With CRON syntax, you can now schedule pipelines down to specific minutes, giving you more precise control over when your workflows run. The interface displays your CRON string translated into plain English, and includes template buttons for common scheduling patterns.
The minimum scheduling interval remains 5 minutes, and a random delay of up to 10 minutes continues to be applied to all scheduled pipelines for load spreading.
All existing GitHub App schedule triggers have been automatically converted to CRON format. No action is required.
This change applies only to GitHub App schedule triggers. GitHub OAuth and Bitbucket schedule triggers are not affected.
Coming soon:
Natural language translation to CRON syntax will be available in an upcoming release.
