What described in EvenScheduler is basically the ability to configure webhooks to be called periodically or at a certain time. First of all, from the very beginning the concept of scheduling has been considered a very important capability of Mistral. And from Mistral perspective calling a webhook is just a workflow consisting of one task. In order to simplify consumption of the service we can implement API methods to work specifically with webhooks in a convenient way (without providing any workflow definitions using DSL etc.). I have already suggested before that we can provide API shortcuts for scheduling individual tasks rather than complex workflows so it has an adjacent meaning.<div>

Convenience APIs similar to the EventScheduler API for just saying "run this webhook on this schedule" would be nice, too, but I wouldn't raise a fuss if they didn't exist and I had to actually define a trivial workflow.<br clear="all">
