About EasyCron
EasyCron runs scheduled jobs from its own servers by sending HTTP requests to endpoints you choose. You set the schedule with a standard cron expression, a fixed interval or by picking times by hand, and it shows a preview of the next run times.
Each run can be logged with its output. Failure logs are kept apart so they are not overwritten by later successful runs. Email notices can be sent on every run or only on failure, and webhooks are supported. Requests can use any HTTP method, with a body for POST, PUT and PATCH. It suits anyone who needs cron without keeping a server running.
Strengths
- Accepts standard cron expressions as well as intervals and hand-picked times
- Shows a preview of upcoming run times
- Separate failure logs and email alerts on failure
- Supports all common HTTP methods and request bodies
Limitations
- Can only trigger jobs reachable over HTTP, not local scripts
- Depends on a third-party service being up
