+# BeemFlow Cron Setup Guide
+
+BeemFlow supports scheduled workflow execution through integration with external cron systems. This approach is simple, reliable, and leverages battle-tested scheduling infrastructure.
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. Define workflows with `on: schedule.cron` trigger
+2. BeemFlow provides HTTP endpoints that trigger these workflows
+3. Configure your cron system to call these endpoints
+
+## Workflow Configuration
+
+Add cron trigger to your workflow:
+
+```yaml
+name: daily_report
+on: schedule.cron
+cron: "0 9 * * *"  # 9 AM daily (for documentation)
+
+steps:
+  - id: generate_report
+    use: my_tool
+    with:
+      type: daily
+```
+
+**Note:** The `cron` field is currently for documentation. The actual schedule is controlled by your cron system.
+
+## Endpoints
+
+### Global Endpoint
+`POST /cron` - Triggers ALL workflows with `schedule.cron`
+
+### Per-Workflow Endpoint  
+`POST /cron/{workflow-name}` - Triggers a specific workflow
+
+## Setup Options
+
+### 1. Vercel (Serverless)
+
+Add to `vercel.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "crons": [{
+    "path": "/cron",
+    "schedule": "*/5 * * * *"
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+For security, set the `CRON_SECRET` environment variable in Vercel. BeemFlow will automatically verify this secret on incoming cron requests.
+
+### 2. System Cron (Linux/Mac)
+
+Add to crontab:
+```bash
+# Run all scheduled workflows every 5 minutes
+*/5 * * * * curl -X POST http://localhost:3333/cron
+
+# Or run specific workflows at their intended times
+0 9 * * * curl -X POST http://localhost:3333/cron/daily_report
+0 * * * * curl -X POST http://localhost:3333/cron/hourly_sync
+```
+
+### 3. Kubernetes CronJob
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: batch/v1
+kind: CronJob
+metadata:
+  name: beemflow-scheduler
+spec:
+  schedule: "*/5 * * * *"
+  jobTemplate:
+    spec:
+      template:
+        spec:
+          containers:
+          - name: cron-trigger
+            image: curlimages/curl
+            args:
+            - /bin/sh
+            - -c
+            - curl -X POST http://beemflow-service:3333/cron
+          restartPolicy: OnFailure
+```
+

+```yaml
+name: Trigger BeemFlow Workflows
+on:
+  schedule:
+    - cron: '*/5 * * * *'
+jobs:
+  trigger:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: Trigger workflows
+        run: |
+          curl -X POST https://your-beemflow-instance.com/cron
+```
+
+### 5. AWS EventBridge / CloudWatch Events
+
+Create a rule that triggers a Lambda function or directly calls your BeemFlow endpoint.
+
+## Auto-Setup (Server Mode)
+
+When running BeemFlow in server mode, it can automatically manage system cron entries:
+
+```bash
+beemflow serve --auto-cron
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Add cron entries for each workflow based on their `cron` field
+2. Clean up entries on shutdown
+3. Update entries when workflows change
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Per-Workflow Endpoints** for precise scheduling control
+2. **Monitor Failed Triggers** - Set up alerting on your cron system
+3. **Idempotent Workflows** - Design workflows to handle duplicate triggers
+4. **Time Zones** - Cron expressions typically use system time zone
+
+## Security
+
+For production:
+- Use authentication tokens in headers
+- Restrict endpoint access by IP
+- Monitor for unusual trigger patterns
+
+Example with auth:
+```bash
+*/5 * * * * curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $BEEMFLOW_TOKEN" http://localhost:3333/cron
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- Built-in scheduling UI
+- Webhook signature verification  
+- Schedule history and metrics
+- Dynamic schedule updates via API
