Just know that unless you have a good reason to do so, you should not instantiate `JobQueue` yourself.
Tasks in the job queue are encapsulated by the [`Job`](https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/telegram.ext.job.html#telegram-ext-job) class. It takes a [callback function as a parameter](https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/telegram.ext.job.html#telegram.ext.Job.params.callback), which will be executed when the time comes. This callback function always takes one parameter: `context`, a [`telegram.ext.CallbackContext`](https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/telegram.ext.callbackcontext.html). Like in the case of handler callbacks used by the `Application`, through this object you can access `context.bot`, the `Application`'s `telegram.Bot` instance; and for this particular case you can also access `context.job`, which is the `Job` instance of the task that triggered the callback (more on that later).

It takes a [callback function as a parameter](https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/telegram.ext.job.html#telegram.ext.Job.params.callback), which will be executed when the time comes. This callback function always takes exactly one parameter: `context`, a [`telegram.ext.CallbackContext`](https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/telegram.ext.callbackcontext.html). Like in the case of handler callbacks used by the `Application`, through this object you can access
* `context.bot`, the `Application`'s `telegram.Bot` instance
* `context.job_queue`, the same object as `application.job_queue` above
* and for this particular case you can also access `context.job`, which is the `Job` instance of the task that triggered the callback (more on that later).
You can use the following methods to create jobs with different frequency and time: `job_queue.run_once`, `job_queue.run_repeating`, `job_queue.run_daily` and `job_queue.run_monthly`. (As before, you do not usually need to instantiate the `Job` class directly.)

Add your first job to the queue by defining a callback function and adding it to the job queue. For this tutorial, you can replace `'@examplechannel'` with a channel where your bot is an admin, or by your user id (use [@userinfobot](https://telegram.me/userinfobot) to find out your user id):
```python
from telegram.ext import CallbackContext
from telegram.ext import CallbackContext, Application
async def callback_minute(context: CallbackContext):
await context.bot.send_message(chat_id='@examplechannel', text='One message every minute')
...
job_minute = j.run_repeating(callback_minute, interval=60, first=10)
application = Application.builder().token('TOKEN').build()
job_queue = application.job_queue
job_minute = job_queue.run_repeating(callback_minute, interval=60, first=10)
application.run_polling()
```
The `callback_minute` function will be executed every `60.0` seconds, the first time being after 10 seconds (because of `first=10`). The `interval` and `first` parameters are in seconds if they are `int` or `float`. They can also be `datetime` objects. See the [docs](http://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/telegram.ext.jobqueue.html) for detailed explanation.

You can also add a job that will be executed only once, with a delay:
```python
from telegram.ext import CallbackContext, Application
async def callback_30(context: CallbackContext):
await context.bot.send_message(chat_id='@examplechannel', text='A single message with 30s delay')
...
j.run_once(callback_30, 30)
application = Application.builder().token('TOKEN').build()
job_queue = application.job_queue
job_queue.run_once(callback_30, 30)
application.run_polling()
```
In thirty seconds, you should receive the message from `callback_30`.

app.add_handler(timer_handler)
application = Application.builder().token('TOKEN').build()
timer_handler = CommandHandler('timer', callback_timer)

By placing the `chat_id` in the `Job` object, the callback function knows where it should send the message.
All good things must come to an end, so when you stop the Application, the related job queue will be stopped as well:
```python
...
await app.stop()
```
Of course, you can instead also stop the job queue by itself:
```python
...
await j.stop()
```

## Persistent Job Queues
Check out [ptbcontrib/ptb_sqlalchemy_jobstore](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/ptbcontrib/tree/main/ptbcontrib/ptb_sqlalchemy_jobstore)
PTBs [[Persistence Setup|Making-your-bot-persistent]] currently does not support serialization of jobs.
However, the current backend of the `JobQueue`, namely the `APScheduler` library has a mechanism for that, which you can leverage.
Check out e.g. [ptbcontrib/ptb_sqlalchemy_jobstore](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/ptbcontrib/tree/main/ptbcontrib/ptb_sqlalchemy_jobstore) for an example implementation.
