Automation

Some work shouldn't happen inside a request. Automation runs it later, runs it on a schedule, or runs it when something changes, and retries with backoff when it fails. Every attempt is recorded, and every outgoing webhook is signed and can be replayed.

Add Automation Read the guide

Background jobs

Queue an HTTP call, an email or a webhook to run now, after a delay or at a set time, with up to 25 attempts.

Schedules

Cron expressions that create jobs on time. You can pause, edit or remove them without a deploy.

Outgoing webhooks

Subscribe your endpoints to events. Each payload is signed, and every delivery is kept so you can inspect it or retry it.

Event feed and audit log

An append-only record of what changed, who changed it and from where. Nothing in it can be edited or deleted.

WorkflowsIn preview

Steps that wait for each other, for a period of time or for an event, defined as code and resumed after failures.

In your code.

Follow up three days after sign-up, retried if it fails.

TypeScript

await dianthan.jobs.create({
  type: "email",
  delaySeconds: 3 * 24 * 60 * 60,
  maxAttempts: 5,
  payload: {
    to: user.email,
    subject: "Anything we can help with?",
    text: "Reply to this email and it reaches a person.",
  },
});
