Jobs are scheduled background tasks, used when your app needs to perform recurring work such as checking for new information, posting updates, or syncing data. Ask Lovable to set one up. For example:
To review your project’s jobs, go to Cloud tab → Jobs.

​
Review and control jobs

The Jobs view lists every scheduled job. Click a job to see:
  • Scheduled: the job’s schedule in plain language, for example “Every day at 08:00 AM” or “Every 15 minutes”.
  • Last run: when the job last executed.
  • A run history table showing each execution’s start time, end time, and status (Succeeded, Failed, or Running).
Use Enable or Disable to control a job. A disabled job does not run again until you enable it. The view does not update live. Use Refresh to reload the job list, or the run history’s own Refresh to load new executions. Creating a job, changing its schedule, or deleting one happens by asking Lovable in chat or through SQL, not from the Jobs view.
Jobs that run often or take longer to complete can increase credit usage. See Usage and costs to review what your project’s jobs consume.
Project monitoring can alert you when scheduled jobs fail, so you don’t have to check the run history manually.

FAQ

Ask Lovable in chat, for example “Schedule a job that cleans up expired sessions every night at midnight” or “Delete the daily summary job”. The Jobs view is for reviewing, enabling, and disabling jobs, not creating them.
Lovable auto-pauses Cloud projects after a period of inactivity, but scheduled jobs and other background activity keep a project active. If a project only exists to run jobs you no longer need, disable the jobs or pause the project manually.
Yes. Each run consumes Cloud usage like any other backend work, so frequent or long-running jobs increase the project’s run credit usage. Review the impact in Usage and costs.
