Digest emails, billing runs, and trial sweeps

The problem

Every SaaS has a handful of scheduled jobs that quietly matter a lot: the weekly digest, nightly billing reconciliation, trial-expiry sweeps, usage rollups. When one silently stops, you don't notice from the dashboard — you notice from an angry customer or a revenue gap a month later.

How SteadyCron solves it

1. 1 Define each job as an HTTP call to your app's internal endpoint, secured with a header token.
2. 2 Schedule it in the right timezone (your billing day shouldn't drift with DST).
3. 3 Set retries so a brief database blip doesn't skip a whole billing run.
4. 4 Get alerted on failure or repeated failures, and auto-resolved when it recovers.

jobs:
  - name: weekly-digest-email
    kind: http
    method: POST
    url: https://api.myapp.com/jobs/digest
    schedule: "0 9 * * 1"
    timezone: Europe/Berlin
    retries: 3
  - name: trial-expiry-sweep
    kind: http
    method: POST
    url: https://api.myapp.com/jobs/trial-expiry
    schedule: "0 6 * * *"
    timezone: Europe/Berlin

Every job's status, schedule, and last run — at a glance.
