Dave McCormick, Alpha Software's VP of product management, explores various methods for scheduling tasks without human intervention. He discusses using Amazon EventBridge, AWS's paid service with reverse proxy functionality, and demonstrates its setup process. Dave also touches upon Zapier, a workflow tool, connects it to Alpha Transform, and discusses the differences in setting up scheduled calls in Alpha Anywhere and Zapier. Additionally, he delves into using the built-in Task Scheduler in Windows to trigger recurring tasks, offering granular control by creating programs that call APIs through curl.
