Scheduled Event Functions
- Karl Henselin
@Since 7.0.0.3
Scheduled Event Functions are groovy scripts which are executed on a user-defined interval. Each function has an associated cron expression that defines frequency of execution. For example, you could have one function that sends out a monthly email report on Environment state and another that sends daily updates on Releases to their creators over Microsoft Teams.
