+Another way of declaring cron triggers is to use the

+on an invokable class::

+    }
+
+This is the most basic way to define a cron trigger. However, the attribute
+takes more parameters to customize the trigger::
+
+    // adds randomly up to 6 seconds to the trigger time to avoid load spikes
+    #[AsCronTask('0 0 * * *', jitter: 6)]
+
+    // defines the method name to call instead as well as the arguments to pass to it

+Like cron triggers, you can also use the

+on an invokable class::

+
+.. note::

+    The ``from`` and ``until`` options are optional. If not defined, the task

+The ``#[AsPeriodicTask]`` attribute takes many parameters to customize the trigger::
+
+    // the frequency can be defined as an integer representing the number of seconds
+    #[AsPeriodicTask(frequency: 86400)]
+
+    // adds randomly up to 6 seconds to the trigger time to avoid load spikes
