Hi guys, this is Abhi from Gokcedb. In this video, you are going to learn how to trigger your Lambda Functions on a schedule using a Cron Expression. Let’s start by searching for Lambda on the AWS Console then click on Create Function button.

Give your Function a name then select the language from the run time dropdown. For the Default Execution Role, I am going to select create a New Role with basic permissions. Next, go to the Code Source section, and hit the Test Button.

Give your Test Event a name, save, then click on Test again to test your Lambda Function. Looks like our function works as expected. Now click the Add Trigger button and select Event Bridge from the drop-down.

Select Create a new rule, then give your rule a name. Next in the Schedule Expression textbox, we are going to type in a cron expression. Let’s look at some examples in the Event Bridge user guide.

Say I want to trigger my Lambda function everyday at 10am and 12pm. To do that, I would write zero, ten commas twelve, star, start, and question mark star. Hit add, then click on My New Rule.

Here, you can check the status of your rule and also look at the next ten triggered dates in UTC or local time. There you have it. Make sure you like, subscribe, and turn on the notification bell.

Until next time.
