Documentation

Everything you need to integrate Jobs Done into your application. Choose your preferred method: CLI, SDK, or direct API calls.

💡

Use Cases

Jobs Done handles the scheduling and reliability so you can focus on your business logic. Here are common patterns:

📧

Retry-safe welcome emails

Enqueue with a stable logic_id like welcome-user-42. Call it on signup and on every deploy — you will never send duplicates.

$ jobs_done jobs enqueue \
--id "welcome-user-42" \
--url ".../webhooks/welcome"

📊

Daily report emails

Fire a webhook every morning at 09:00 UTC. Your handler queries the DB, renders the report, and sends it.

$ jobs_done cron create \
--name "daily-report" \
--cron "0 9 * * *" \
--url ".../webhooks/report"

🗄️

Scheduled data exports

Trigger a nightly data export to S3 or a data warehouse. Automatic retries ensure it completes before morning.

$ jobs_done cron create \
--name "nightly-export" \
--cron "0 2 * * *" \
--url ".../webhooks/export"

📦

Order confirmations

Decouple order processing from checkout. Enqueue a confirmation job after payment — Jobs Done handles delivery even if your service restarts.

$ jobs_done jobs enqueue \
--id "order-confirm-{{order_id}}" \
--url ".../webhooks/confirm"

📅

Weekly digest emails

Send users a summary of their activity each week. Schedule for Monday morning so it lands in inboxes at the right time.

$ jobs_done cron create \
--name "weekly-digest" \
--cron "0 9 * * 1" \
--url ".../webhooks/digest"

💳

Failed payment retries

Automatically retry failed payments with exponential backoff. No cron daemon needed on your end.

$ jobs_done cron create \
--name "retry-payments" \
--cron "0 6,18 * * *" \
--url ".../webhooks/retry-payments"

💻

CLI

The jobs_done CLI provides full control from your terminal, CI pipeline, or LLM agent. Every command outputs clean JSON — pipe it, parse it, automate it.

jobs_done --version

Quick Start

Terminal

# Register and get your API key
jobs_done user register "My App"
# Output:
# Name:    My App
# API Key: jd_sk_8f3e...c21a

# Set your API key (or export JOBSDONE_API_KEY)
export JOBSDONE_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Schedule a daily cron (fires at 09:00 UTC every day)
jobs_done cron create \
    --name "daily-report" \
    --cron "0 9 * * *" \
    --url "https://your-domain.com/webhooks/daily"

# Enqueue a one-off job (idempotent — safe to call on every deploy)
jobs_done job enqueue \
    --id "send-welcome-email-user-123" \
    --url "https://your-domain.com/webhooks/welcome"

# List all your cron jobs
jobs_done cron list

# Pause and resume a cron job
jobs_done cron pause "daily-report"
jobs_done cron resume "daily-report"

🤖

LLM & agent-friendly

Every command outputs clean JSON — perfect for piping into jq, scripting in CI, or driving from an AI agent. Pass --output json to suppress decorative output. The CLI reads JOBSDONE_API_KEY from the environment — no interactive prompts in automation mode.

🪝

Webhooks

When a job fires, Jobs Done sends an HTTP POST to your configured webhook_url. The request body contains the body you stored when creating the cron (or the description for one-off enqueued jobs).

Webhook Request

POST /your-webhook-endpoint

# Example webhook request from Jobs Done to your endpoint:
POST /webhooks/daily-report HTTP/1.1
Host: your-domain.com
Content-Type: application/json
X-JobsDone-Signature: sha256=abc123...        # future: HMAC signature for verification
X-JobsDone-Logic-ID: daily-report-acme-corp
X-JobsDone-Cron-ID: 42

{
  "tenant_id": "acme-corp",
  "report_type": "daily-summary",
  "format": "json"
}

Response & Retries

Your Webhook Handler

// Return 2xx to acknowledge. Jobs Done retries on non-2xx responses.
// The number of retries is controlled by max_attempts (default: 3).

app.post('/webhooks/daily-report', async (req, res) => {
  const { tenant_id, report_type } = req.body;

  // Process the report...
  await generateReport({ tenantId: tenant_id, type: report_type });

  res.status(200).json({ ok: true });
});

⚠️

Webhook Security

Configure your webhook endpoint to only accept requests from the Jobs Done domain (jobsdone.claudlabs.com). This prevents spoofed job executions. Check the X-JobsDone-Signature header (future) to verify authenticity.
