# Cron
To configure cron jobs you need at least push access to the repository.
## Add a new cron job
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
steps:
- name: 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
```
2. 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://it-tools.tech/crontab-generator> is a good place to start and experiment.
Examples: `@every 5m`, `@daily`, `0 30 * * * *` ...
:::info
Woodpeckers cron syntax starts with seconds instead of minutes as used by most linux cron schedulers.
Example: "At minute 30 every hour" would be `0 30 * * * *` instead of `30 * * * *`
