Hi there, Is there a recommended way to use Doppler with either Cron or Systemd timers? I cannot for the life of me get it to work.

Thanks

Hi @dkdoppler!

Welcome to the Doppler Community!

We just added some documentation around using Doppler with cron jobs here:

> **[Cron](https://docs.doppler.com/docs/cron)**
>
> Learn how to use Doppler with your cron jobs.

Give that a look and see if that helps! If you have any questions, let me know and I’ll see how I can help!
