# Scheduling jobs cron style

### Scheduling jobs

* When you are writing the workflow you need to add the following entries to the `on` block:

```yaml
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '* * * * *'
```

* Example:

```yaml
name: "Example"

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ master ]
  
  # This section is for the schedule
  schedule:
    - cron: '* * * * *'
```
