Tasks

Methods can also be executed asynchronously. We call these "tasks". You can schedule the execution of a method using the schedule() builder method:

Python

task = await self.lookup().schedule().WelcomeEmailTask(context)

TypeScript

const task = await this.lookup().schedule().welcomeEmailTask(context, {});

With no arguments to schedule(), we'll run the method immediately in the background, and will retry until it completes.

You can additionally pass the when argument to schedule the execution for a point in the future:

Python

await self.lookup().schedule(
    when=timedelta(seconds=request.quote_expiration_seconds),
).ExpireQuoteTask(
    context,
    quote=quote,
)

TypeScript

await this.lookup().schedule({ when }).expireQuoteTask(context, { quote })
