The routines scheduler could act as a solution for users that won't be available on their Computer for drop time. With the routines scheduler you can define a series of tasks that will be run automatically on your command / pre-defined time.
Running the routines scheduler requires you to have correctly filled .csv file in your "tasks" folder, which you will find in your main PepperScripts folder.
Please don't forget to give your instances a string value as name, even if you don't want to exclude/ include instances (we will talk more about that in a minute), such as "A" "peppermain" or whatever you desire. Do that by clicking on the pepper popup and select the settings page.
We will use this example file to show you some of the already available functions:
SITE TIME ACTION VALUE INCLUDED INSTANCES EXCLUDED INSTANCES
BROWSER 08:25:00 OPEN TAB https://www.zalando.de/
ZALANDO 08:25:20 START PRELOAD zalando
BROWSER 08:34:55 OPEN TAB https://www.zalando.de/schuhe/?q=NI112O0P7-A11 PPR-QSP
BROWSER 08:37:00 CLOSE TAB zalandoThese are the lines included in the file - and what will happen is quite self-explainatory:
At 8:25, Pepper will open the german Zalando homepage and start the preload 20s later. At 8:34:55, which is 5s before drop, Pepper will open up a product page only for the instance named PPR-QSP and let it run. If you haven't copped initial, it will start monitoring with the right settings. By 8:37 the tab will be closed
If you look closely, you can see columns for INCLUDED INSTANCES and EXCLUDED INSTANCES - this refers the name of your instances, which you can set here. If you leave those options empty, all connected instances will be effected.
Following commands are available to you right now - feel free to experiment with them!
Site: BROWSER Actions: - OPEN TAB (needs an URL as value) - CLOSE TAB (you can use a substring as value - see below for explanation) - RELOAD TAB (you can use a substring as value - see below for explanation) Site: ZALANDO Actions: - START PRELOAD - CLEAR CART - FORCE START Using a substring as value means that you can enter value like "zalando" and all tabs that have this word in their URL will be affected by the command.
Everything that happens in the routines scheduler will be logged inside the logger.
