Scheduled Tasks

Automate recurring work by scheduling agents to create and execute tasks on a regular cadence.

Overview

Schedules let you configure agents to automatically create and execute tasks at defined intervals — daily, weekly, monthly, or custom. No manual task creation needed for routine work.

Creating a Schedule

Click Create Schedule and configure:

  • Agent — which agent executes the scheduled task
  • Task Title Template — supports date variables for dynamic titles
  • Description — what the agent should do each time
  • Frequency — Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Interval
  • Requires Approval — whether the task goes to Review before completion
  • Board — which board the task is created on

WeeklyCreates a task on selected days of the week
MonthlyCreates a task on a specific day each month
IntervalCreates a task every N hours/minutes

Run Now

Every schedule has a Run Now button to trigger an immediate execution outside the regular cadence — useful for testing or one-off needs.

Use Cases

  1. Daily social media — content agent creates and drafts social posts every morning at 9am
  2. Weekly report — analytics agent compiles performance metrics every Monday morning
  3. Monthly audit — compliance agent runs a security review on the first of each month

Tips

  • Use the Requires Approval option for schedules that produce external-facing content
  • Test new schedules with Run Now before relying on the automated cadence
  • Use date variables in task titles (e.g., "Weekly Report — {date}") to keep tasks distinguishable
