# Run a schedule

> Manually trigger one Schedule Run.

`POST /api/v1/forward/schedules/{schedule_id}/run`

Creates a Schedule Run immediately without changing the Schedule's trigger policy. The endpoint returns when the Run record is created, not when execution finishes.

## Errors

| HTTP | Type                    | Code                      | Trigger                  |
| ---- | ----------------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| 401  | `authentication_error`  | `authentication_required` | PAT invalid or expired.  |
| 404  | `not_found_error`       | `schedule_not_found`      | Schedule does not exist. |
| 409  | `invalid_request_error` | `schedule_archived`       | Schedule is archived.    |
| 409  | `invalid_request_error` | `schedule_not_active`     | Schedule is paused.      |

## Notes

* If the Schedule has reached `execution.max_concurrent_runs`, Forward still creates a Run with `status=skipped` and `error.type=concurrency_limit_reached`.
* Poll Get Schedule Run until `status` is `completed`, `failed`, or `skipped`.
