# Create a wake schedule

`POST /wake/schedules`

Create a cron schedule that sends a wake.dispatch command to one of your
own function addresses. `from` and `to` must differ (no self-dispatch);
the cron expression and IANA timezone are validated and the first fire
time is computed without firing immediately.
