## Set a Custom Schedule

You can use a cron expression to set a custom schedule for the Card.

<Tip>
  To learn about cron expressions and test them out yourself, check out [crontab guru](https://crontab.guru).
</Tip>

In the Card's scheduling options, select **Custom** to open the cron field:

The Card will preview when the trigger is scheduled, or let you know if your cron expression is invalid:
