Target : As mentioned earlier, the Cloud Scheduler currently supports App Engine, HTTP and Pub/Sub.Timezone : You can select a specific timezone in which to execute the function.Since we want to trigger the function every minute, I use : * * * * * Frequency : Provide the cron expression.The key things to note in the Job details form are:
