Managing schedules

Stopping schedules

There are two ways schedules can be stopped:

1. In the case of a meya.schedule loop, your bot can implement a stop flow using meya.schedule_stop component that allows your user to stop (or unsubscribe) from the loop
2. Any scheduled state transitions will be available in the web console and be viewed and terminated using the big red stop button.

Tip!

The schedule viewer can be useful when you're debugging your bot to make sure you're setting the correct timing.

Conditional execution

Schedules can be combined with conditional components to implement a polling strategy. For example, you could start a periodic loop that check for new sports scores in a game and then, if there are any, publish it to your user.

❗️

Rate limits

Read the rate limit section carefully to determine the best scheduling strategy that will stay within bounds.
