# Time-based Job

## Overview

Time-based jobs allow users to make smart contract automation directly from Skeeper UI. You can create a recurring job directly from the web application UI from a simple modal, by specifying the function you want to be invoked in a specific interval.

## Tutorial

#### To create a Time-based job

In Skeeper UI go to [Time-based jobs](https://app.skeeper.xyz/) tab and press "Add Task". Fill out the form with the desired smart contract, it's function and paramaters, that you'd like to be invoked.

#### Set up job schedule

In the bottom section of the modal, there are 3 fields that needs to be filled out

* Frequency - How often you'd like the job to run (e.g. once every hour)
* Start time - When you'd like the first job to run&#x20;
* Number of jobs - How many times would you like the job to run
