Scheduled actions

MovoSuite’s automation runs as scheduled timer jobs (plus a few queue-triggered processors) on Azure Functions v4 (.NET 8, isolated worker). The cadences below are the actual NCRONTAB schedules from the backend; all times are UTC (timer triggers run in UTC regardless of the site Timezone setting, which only affects how times are rendered in emails and logs). For the conditions MovoSuite proactively alerts on, see Alerts & monitoring.

Note

Approved deployment and purchase assignment processing is queue-triggered (ProcessDeploymentAssignment / ProcessPurchaseAssignment on Azure Storage Queues), not on a fixed timer — it runs as work arrives. The scheduled jobs below drive everything else.
