About user-defined actions

With user-defined actions, you can write custom functions and procedures, and schedule them to run periodically. TimescaleDB natively includes some job-scheduling policies, such as:

• Continuous aggregate policies to automatically refresh continuous aggregates
• Compression policies to compress historical data
• Retention policies to drop historical data
• Reordering policies to reorder data within chunks

If these don't cover your use case, or if you want to expand upon the native policy features, you can write a user-defined action. Actions can be written in the language of your choice.
