Schedules

A schedule runs a dbt command regularly, so your tables stay up to date. Editors and admins manage them in Build → Schedules.

Create one

Press + New schedule and set:

• Name, for example Nightly build.
• Command and an optional --select.
• How often: every hour (at a minute you choose), every day or every week (at a time you choose), or a custom cron expression (minute hour day month weekday, for example 0 6 * * 1-5 for 06:00 on weekdays).
• The time zone the times refer to.

What a scheduled run does

• It runs the committed code on your branch (a fresh copy), never an unfinished working copy.
• If a run fails, the person who created the schedule gets an email.
• If a run is already in progress for the project, the scheduled one is skipped.
• After a successful scheduled run, Explore refreshes its models.

Manage

On each schedule: Run now, Pause / Resume, Edit, Delete. Its next run time and its last result are shown in the list.
