# Background Tasks - `BackgroundTasks`

You can declare a parameter in a *path operation function* or dependency function with the type `BackgroundTasks`, and then you can use it to schedule the execution of background tasks after the response is sent.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import BackgroundTasks
```

plugins {
  kotlin("jvm")
  id("com.github.johnrengelman.shadow")
}

tasks.compileJava {
  options.isWarnings = false
}

tasks.jar {
  manifest {
    attributes("Main-Class" to "okhttp3.sample.SampleServer")
  }
}

dependencies {
  implementation(projects.mockwebserver)
}

tasks.shadowJar {
  mergeServiceFiles()

    </dependency>
