Schedule Configurations

After creating a Bolt schedule, you can easily modify it to suit your evolving needs. This section covers how to edit Bolt Schedules via the UI, as well as important actions you can take with your schedules.

Modifying Existing Schedules Details

1. Navigate to the Bolt UI and select the schedule you wish to edit.

2. Click on the "Edit" button to access the schedule's configuration.

3. Update the desired schedule parameters.

4. Save your changes.

You can also edit the paradime_schedules.yml file in your dbt™️ project. See YAML-based schedule parameters for guidance.

Advanced Configuration Options

Trigger Type

Bolt offers four trigger types for schedules:

1. Scheduled Run: Use "cron" syntax to specify the frequency and time for a schedule. These runs are independent and not influenced by other schedules.

2. On Run Completion: Set a schedule to start only after another schedule has finished (also known as chain deployment). These triggers depend on the completion of the specified schedule.

3. On Merge: To trigger schedule every time a pull request is merged into your specified git branch (ex. Main). Ideal for CI/CD workflows.

4. Bolt API: Utilize Paradime's custom API to trigger Bolt runs within your existing data pipeline (See Bolt API documentation for details)

For additional guidance on "On Merge" triggers, see Continuous Deployment with Bolt.
