To configure cron jobs you need at least push access to the repository.
:::warning
By default pipelines triggered by cron jobs wont execute any steps in pipelines, as they are not part of the default event filter and you explicitly need to set a `event: cron` filter.
1. To create a new cron job adjust your pipeline config(s) and add the event filter to all steps you would like to run by the cron job:
```diff
pipeline:
sync_locales:
image: weblate_sync
settings:
url: example.com
token:
from_secret: weblate_token
+ when:
+ event: cron
+ cron: "name of the cron job" # if you only want to execute this step by a specific cron job
```
1. Create a new cron job in the repository settings:
![cron settings](./cron-settings.png)
The supported schedule syntax can be found at <https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/robfig/cron?utm_source=godoc#hdr-CRON_Expression_Format>. If you need general understanding of the cron syntax <https://crontab.guru/> is a good place to start and experiment.
