# New-PSUSchedule

New-PSUSchedule creates a schedule in PowerShell Universal that runs scripts or workflows on a cron, continuous, one-time, or calendar basis.

## SYNOPSIS

Creates a schedule for scripts or workflows.

## SYNTAX

Select either `-Script <Script[]>` (alias `-Scripts`; accepts pipeline input) or `-Workflow <Workflow>`, and one timing form:

```powershell
New-PSUSchedule -Script <Script[]> -Cron <String> [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Workflow <Workflow> -Cron <String> [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Script <Script[]> -Continuous [-Delay <TimeSpan>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Workflow <Workflow> -Continuous [-Delay <TimeSpan>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Script <Script[]> [-OneTime <DateTime>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Workflow <Workflow> [-OneTime <DateTime>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Script <Script[]> -EveryHour [-Minute <Int32>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Workflow <Workflow> -EveryHour [-Minute <Int32>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Script <Script[]> -EveryDay [-Hour <Int32>] [-Minute <Int32>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Workflow <Workflow> -EveryDay [-Hour <Int32>] [-Minute <Int32>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Script <Script[]> -DayOfWeek -Day <String[]> [-Hour <Int32>] [-Minute <Int32>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Workflow <Workflow> -DayOfWeek -Day <String[]> [-Hour <Int32>] [-Minute <Int32>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Script <Script[]> -EveryMonth -DayOfMonth <Int32> [-Hour <Int32>] [-Minute <Int32>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Workflow <Workflow> -EveryMonth -DayOfMonth <Int32> [-Hour <Int32>] [-Minute <Int32>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Script <Script[]> -SpecificMonth -Month <String[]> -DayOfMonth <Int32> [-Hour <Int32>] [-Minute <Int32>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
New-PSUSchedule -Workflow <Workflow> -SpecificMonth -Month <String[]> -DayOfMonth <Int32> [-Hour <Int32>] [-Minute <Int32>] [<ScheduleOptions>] [<ConnectionOptions>]
```

`<ScheduleOptions>`: `[-Name <String>] [-Description <String>] [-Credential <Variable>] [-TimeZone <String>] [-Environment <String>] [-Paused] [-RandomDelay] [-RandomDelayMaximum <Int32>] [-Timeout <Int32>] [-Condition <ScriptBlock>] [-Computer <String>] [-Parameters <Hashtable>] [-AvailableInBranch <String[]>] [-Folder <String>]`. Continuous schedules also accept `[-DelaySecond <Int32>] [-DelayMinute <Int32>] [-DelayHour <Int32>]` as alternatives to `-Delay`. `<ConnectionOptions>`: `[-ComputerName <String>] [-AppToken <String>] [-UseDefaultCredentials] [-Integrated] [-TrustCertificate] [-Cookies]`.

## DESCRIPTION

Schedules one or more scripts or a workflow. Choose a timing mode: cron expression, continuous with optional delay, one-time date, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or specific months. `-Parameters` supplies values to the target, including one-time scripts with no declared `param` block. With one script, declared script parameters may also be supplied dynamically; use `-Parameters` if dynamic lookup fails. Here `-Credential` is a PSU credential variable for the scheduled run, not a Management API credential.

## EXAMPLES

```powershell
New-PSUSchedule -Name 'Nightly Cleanup' -Script 'Cleanup.ps1' -Cron '0 0 * * *' -Parameters @{ RetentionDays = 30 }
New-PSUSchedule -Name 'Deploy workflow' -Workflow 'Deploy' -OneTime (Get-Date).AddHours(1) -Parameters @{ Environment = 'Test' }
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell-universal/powershell-commands/new-psuschedule.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
