# Create

Create a new scheduled job that posts to Slack or Discord on a cron schedule.





<Callout type="info">
  You'll need a platform `channel_id` from [Channels](/api/channels/list) to create a scheduled job. Pass that `channel_id` (for example `C09M8FRJYTF` for Slack, or the numeric snowflake for Discord) as `connected_channel_id`, **not** the internal `cc_…` record ID.
</Callout>

See [Schedule rules](/api/scheduled-jobs/schedule-rules) for cron format and timezone requirements.

## Request body [#request-body]

<TypeTable
  type="{
  schedule: {
    type: &#x22;string&#x22;,
    required: true,
    description: &#x22;5-field cron expression (for example `0 9 * * *` for daily at 9am). Minimum granularity is 5 minutes.&#x22;
  },
  timezone: {
    type: &#x22;string&#x22;,
    required: true,

    description: &#x22;The prompt to execute on schedule.&#x22;

  },
  agent_id: {
    type: &#x22;string&#x22;,
    description: &#x22;Only used when `job_type=app`. Selects which agent runs the scheduled prompt. Accepts either the ULID (`cci_...`) or the agent slug.&#x22;

  On create, `last_executed_at` is set to creation time (not null), even when `is_enabled` is `false`. This prevents the job from firing immediately the moment it is enabled.
