Call multiple webpages from one powershell scheduler

Question

Aim--
I need to call multiple webpages in a single powershell windows scheduler.

current implementation--

in 'Add arguments' section :

-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString(\"https://example1\")"

Output needed--
I have to call more than two webpages here. How can i do that?
Purpose is - I have multiple webpages to call and i don't want to create separate scheduler for every webpage.

Make a script and call that script with the scheduled task – Doug Maurer Dec 28 '20 at 06:11 — Doug Maurer, Dec 28 '20 at 06:11

I checked. it is working with powershell. But it is not working with windows scheduler. I tired changing path to open powershell app in scheduler, still giving me error. Any idea for this one ? – lil-wolf Dec 31 '20 at 08:02

At the end, scripting worked! nothing else.
I was avoiding to make a script, just wanted to do it with scheduler only.

But anyways, here are the linkes which helped me-
