Probot: Scheduler

A Probot extension to trigger events on an hourly schedule.

Usage

$ npm install probot-scheduler

const createScheduler = require('probot-scheduler')

module.exports = (robot) => {
  createScheduler(robot)
  robot.on('schedule.repository', context => {
    // this event is triggered on an interval, which is 1 hr by default
  })
}

Configuration

There are a few environment variables that can change the behavior of the scheduler:

• DISABLE_DELAY=true - Perform the schedule immediately on startup, instead of waiting for the random delay between 0 and 59:59 for each repository, which exists to avoid all schedules being performed at the same time.

• IGNORED_ACCOUNTS=comma,separated,list - GitHub usernames to ignore when scheduling. These are typically spammy or abusive accounts.
