Quixa includes a production-grade, SQL Server-backed Hangfire Execution Scheduler that automatically executes workflows, regression suites, and contract drift checks on recurring schedules.

​
1. Setting Up a Schedule

  1. Open any saved Flow or Suite on the canvas.
  2. In the header toolbar, click the Schedule icon (⏰).
  3. Configure the trigger:
    • Schedule Frequency: Choose standard presets (Every 15 minutes, Hourly, Daily at Midnight, Weekly) or specify a custom 5-field Cron Expression (e.g. 0 2 * * * for 2:00 AM daily).
    • Target Environment: Select which environment configuration (Staging, Prod, Sandbox) should be injected at runtime.
    • Enabled Toggle: Activate or pause the schedule without deleting the configuration.

​
2. Supported Schedule Targets

  • Flow Schedules: Run recurring business workflows (e.g. nightly synthetic test data seeding, health probe heartbeats).
  • Suite Schedules: Run end-to-end regression suites periodically to ensure staging environments remain healthy.
  • Collection Drift Audits: Periodically crawl upstream Swagger specs and compare SHA-256 hashes to detect API contract changes automatically.

​
3. Reliability & Monitoring

  • Persistent Execution: Schedules run as durable background jobs resilient to server restarts.
  • Audit Trail: Every scheduled run records a complete FlowExecution with TriggerType: "scheduled", accessible in the execution history.
  • Failure Alerts: Integrate webhooks to receive instant Slack, Discord, or Microsoft Teams notifications when a scheduled regression fails.
