Missing documentation/example for instant event and cron event

[dust63]

Hi,

I'm trying to play with this activities but no success for me. Can you add docs for it and example.
I also remark it miss some documentation about Elsa activities with example and outcome definition and variable we can use in javascript or liquid.

For Elsa 1, I'm afraid the Instant event is actually completely broken and requires thorough refactorings that have been applied to Elsa 2.
The Cron event is slightly less broken, but still quite flaky. In Elsa 2, this has been completely fixed.

You can find an example for both Cron and Instant here: https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/tree/feature/elsa-2.0/src/samples/worker/Elsa.Samples.Timers

Regarding missing documentation, you are right of course. This will be added as soon as Elsa 2 is in RC.

Which reminds me, I wrote a small article about the Cron event here: https://dev.to/sfmskywalker/scheduled-background-tasks-made-easy-with-elsa-workflows-3o6k

I think you can add reference on it on Elsa website ;). Thank you very much for your work. I planned to made file acitivity.
How to propose new activity to be add on this marvelous project ?

Indeed. I need to add a blog post section or something similar there actually :)

If you would like to contribute a new activity of set of activities, the easiest way would be to fork the Elsa Core repo, create a new class library with your activities, and then submit a PR.

Thanks for the support!
