Hello,

 

As of now the getContent and getContentAsPDFPageReference methods can not be used in scheduled apex. A work around could be, implement your own webservice with the method that you want to call and calling that webservice from the @future method that is called by the scheduled APEX execute() method.

 

I would suggest you to vote following idea on idexchange portal:

Hello,

 

With @future also getContent will not work, i am suggesting you to create a webservice and make use of getContent in that webservice. Now call that webservice with @future notation in your scheduled apex class.

Hello,

 

Create a webservice that will be an apex class, like:

 

global class WebServiceClass {
    
    WebService static String sayHello(String s1){
       

PageReference pg = page.Mypage;

Blob body = pg.getContent();

 

return body;


    }
}

 

Now call this in your scheduled apex with @future(callout=ture)
