Create a one-time scheduled task that executes a webhook or workflow at a specific date and time. Clocked schedules are automatically one-off tasks (they execute once and then complete).

​
DateTime Format

The clocked_run_at field accepts ISO 8601 datetime strings:
  • Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss+HH:mm
  • Examples:
    • "2024-12-25T00:00:00Z" - UTC timezone
    • "2024-12-25T00:00:00+05:30" - With timezone offset
    • "2024-12-25T09:30:00Z" - Specific time
The timezone specified in clocked_timezone is used to interpret the datetime if no timezone is specified in the string.

​
Timezone Support

HookPulse supports all 500+ IANA timezones. Use the Get Timezone Options endpoint to get the complete list.

​
One-Off Tasks

Clocked schedules are automatically one-off tasks that execute once at the specified time. After execution, the schedule status becomes "completed". The is_one_off_task field is not required for clocked schedules as they are always one-time executions.

​
Initial Context Template

The initial_context_template object allows you to pass variables to your webhook or workflow that can be accessed using {{ initial.key }} syntax:
  • In request body: {{ initial.key }} will be replaced with the value
  • In headers: {{ initial.key }} can be used in header values
  • In query params: {{ initial.key }} can be used in query parameters
  • In path: {{ initial.key }} can be used in URL paths
You can also combine with:
  • System secrets: {{ #secret_key }} for vault secrets
  • Workflow step responses: {{ step.response.variable }} in workflows

​
Use Cases

  • Scheduled Maintenance: Run maintenance tasks at specific times
  • Future Operations: Schedule operations for future dates
  • One-Time Events: Execute tasks for specific events
  • Time-Sensitive Operations: Operations that must run at exact times
  • Event-Based Triggers: Trigger workflows at specific event times

​
