Netlify Scheduled Functions allow users to automate their deploys on a regular interval, making it easier to manage static websites with new content every week. These functions are considered experimental and require enabling them in Netlify Labs. A scheduled function consists of a CRON expression defining the interval and a callback function that will be executed at this schedule. Users can define their scheduled functions directly in their serverless functions or within their netlify.toml file, with the latter approach being more suitable for those familiar with serverless functions. To get started, users need to install required dependencies, configure a build hook, and create a new serverless function that invokes the schedule helper function. The CRON expression is used to define the interval at which the function should run, and it can be customized to fit specific needs. Once deployed, scheduled deploys will automate the deployment process, making life easier for developers managing their websites or applications.
