# Create a Report Schedule

Creates a new active Report Schedule for a single supported Report `type`.
Once created, the schedule runs on Method's standard cadence for that type.
See [Supported Report Types.](https://docs.methodfi.com/2026-03-30/reference/report-schedules/overview.md#supported-report-types)

A team can only have one active schedule per `type` — creating a duplicate
returns an error.

## Body

## Returns

Returns the newly created Report Schedule object.
