Scheduled Functions

Monthly Report

This example demonstrate an Inngest function that automatically generate a report at the end of each month (for demo purposes, the report is generated every 5 minutes.)

Benefits

Auto-retries:: If a report fails to generate (e.g. because of a network error), Inngest will automatically retry the request for you.
