New methods to define when to run Analyis: Interval and Schedule

Next week, TagoIO will release a new way to run Analysis using “interval” and “schedule” options. This information is important because you may need to take action to avoid issues when setting up the interval for your Analysis in the future.

The current interval mechanism contained inside each Analysis will be removed and moved to the Action section. This change will bring some benefits: it will allow you to track when the Analysis is fired and give you the option to define the exact time and day it should run using the Schedule option. For example, you can set an Analysis to run every Monday at 6am.

If you already have any Analysis in your account set by Interval, TagoIO will automatically make the necessary changes by creating and associating it with a new Action. The name of the newly created Action will use the name of the Analysis, e.g. “[AutoGenerated] MyAnalysisName”. We will also create legacy support for Analyses created through API requests. When the API identifies that you are sending a field named “interval”, it will automatically create an Action with that interval.

Breaking Change Note: If you change the interval time by API or by using another Analysis, it will no longer work. We are not able to change an Action that edits an Analysis method. If you have that scenario, you can make the changes yourself and edit the Action as needed. If you need help figuring out the best way to fix that, you can visit our Forum (community.tago.io) or open a support ticket.
