Use Cases

Real-world examples of how people use QuzenixCron. Find one that fits your needs, copy the config, paste it into the form — done.

🤖 Telegram Bot Keepalive

Telegram bots hosted on Render, Heroku, or Fly.io free tiers spin down after 15 minutes of inactivity. QuzenixCron pings your /ping endpoint every 5 minutes to keep it awake.

URL: https://your-bot.onrender.com/ping
Method: GET
Schedule: */5 * * * *      (every 5 minutes)
Timezone: UTC
Timeout: 15s
Notify after: 3 failures
Keep your /ping endpoint lightweight
Your /ping endpoint should just return 200 OK with a "pong" body. No database queries, no side effects — the only job is keeping the process alive.
