Hi there,

Indeed, this is not available on the App Platform yet. You can find the complete list of available app specs here:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/reference/app-spec/

Scheduled triggers are not yet available for function components deployed through App Platform but only when using the stand alone functions:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/functions/how-to/schedule-functions/

For the time being, in case that you need to run a job scheduler on the App Platform you can use the following aproach:

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Bobby
