 1 | ### ⏰ Trigger Netlify builds on a schedule using Github Actions
 2 | 
 3 | 1. Add a [Build hook](https://www.netlify.com/docs/webhooks/#incoming-webhooks) to your site using the [Netlify Dashboard](https://app.netlify.com/)
 4 | 
 5 |    > Settings > Build & Deploy > Continuous Deployment > Build hooks
 6 | 
 7 | 1. Create a `.github/workflows/main.yml` file in your Github repo, replacing _YOUR_BUILD_HOOK_ with the build hook you just created.
 8 | 
 9 |    ```yaml
10 |    name: Trigger Netlify Build
11 |    on:
12 |      schedule:
13 |        - cron: '*/15 * * * *' # every 15 mins
14 |    jobs:
15 |      build:
16 |        name: Request Netlify Webhook
17 |        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
18 |        steps:
19 |          - name: Curl request
20 |            run: curl -X POST -d {} YOUR_BUILD_HOOK
21 |    ```
22 | 
23 | 1. Adjust the `cron` settings to determine how often the build will be triggered.  
24 |    `15 8 * * *` would run every day at 0815  
25 |    `0 0,12 * * *` would run at midday and midnight every day  
26 |    [crontab guru](https://crontab.guru/#0_0,12_*_*_*) can help you generate the correct cron syntax.  
27 |    See the [Github Actions Docs](https://help.github.com/en/articles/events-that-trigger-workflows#scheduled-events) for more info.
28 | 
29 | 1. Open the _Actions_ tab in you Github repo to watch the workflow complete. 🎉
