Frappe Syntax Scheduler

Need periodic execution?
├─ Fixed interval (hourly/daily/weekly/monthly) → scheduler_events in hooks.py
├─ Custom cron schedule → scheduler_events.cron in hooks.py
├─ User-configurable interval → Scheduled Job Type DocType
└─ No, triggered by user/event
   ├─ Run method on a specific document → frappe.enqueue_doc()
   ├─ Run standalone function async → frappe.enqueue()
   └─ Run from controller on self → self.queue_action()

# hooks.py — ALWAYS run bench migrate after changes
scheduler_events = {
    # Standard events (default queue)
    "all": ["myapp.tasks.every_tick"],           # Every tick [v14: 240s, v15+: 60s]
    "hourly": ["myapp.tasks.hourly_task"],
    "daily": ["myapp.tasks.daily_task"],
    "weekly": ["myapp.tasks.weekly_task"],
    "monthly": ["myapp.tasks.monthly_task"],

    # Long queue events (for heavy processing)
    "hourly_long": ["myapp.tasks.hourly_heavy"],
    "daily_long": ["myapp.tasks.daily_heavy"],
    "weekly_long": ["myapp.tasks.weekly_heavy"],
    "monthly_long": ["myapp.tasks.monthly_heavy"],

    # Cron events (croniter-compatible syntax)

        "0 9 * * 1-5": ["myapp.tasks.weekday_9am"],
