Build cron-job.org forms with Paperform

cron-job.org is a free online cronjob service that allows you to execute commands or visit websites at any time interval.

Paperform connects to cron-job.org directly through Stepper workflows.

How cron-job.org connects to Paperform

Direct methods run inside your Paperform account. Zapier and Make are there too if your team already uses them.

Stepper workflows

Direct

Run a Stepper workflow when someone submits your form: 6 cron-job.org actions and 2 triggers, included in your Paperform account.

  1. Open Stepper from your Paperform account and create a workflow.
  2. Start it with the Paperform “New Submission” trigger and choose your form.
  3. Add a cron-job.org step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.

cron-job.org actions in Stepper

  • Create Cron Job
  • Update Cron Job
  • Delete Cron Job
  • Get Cron Job
  • List Cron Jobs
  • Make HTTP Request

cron-job.org events that can start a workflow

  • Job Execution Failed
  • Job Execution Succeeded

What your form sends to cron-job.org

For example, with a Stepper workflow the “Create Cron Job” action takes these fields. Map each one to a question on your form, and every submission fills them in.
