## Migration

In v5.2 and upper, scheduler detects the format of data automatically. 

But before v5.2, the method included two parameters:

- **data** - (*object*)    a string or object which represents data;
- **type** - (*string*)    optional, (<i>'json', 'xml', 'ical'</i>) the data type. The default value - <i>'xml'</i>
