Scheduling

Scheduling

Automate agent and orchestration runs on a recurring schedule — no external cron setup needed.

---

Creating a Schedule

Open Settings → Schedules and click New Schedule. Configure:

Field	Description
Name	A label for this schedule
Agent / Orchestration	What to run when the schedule fires
Schedule Type	Interval or fixed-time cron
Prompt	Standing instruction sent to the agent each run
Messaging Channel	Where to post results (optional)

---

Schedule Types

Interval

Run every N minutes, hours, or days:

Example	Meaning
Every 15 minutes	*/15 * * * *
Every hour	0 * * * *
Every 6 hours	0 */6 * * *
Every day	0 0 * * *

Fixed Time (Cron)

Run at specific times using standard cron syntax:

┌─── minute (0–59)
│ ┌─── hour (0–23)
│ │ ┌─── day of month (1–31)
│ │ │ ┌─── month (1–12)
│ │ │ │ ┌─── day of week (0–6, Sun=0)
│ │ │ │ │
* * * * *

Cron Expression	Meaning
0 9 * * 1-5	Weekdays at 9 AM
0 9 * * MON	Every Monday at 9 AM
30 8 1 * *	1st of every month at 8:30 AM
0 9,17 * * *	Daily at 9 AM and 5 PM

Standing Prompts

The Prompt field is what the agent receives each time the schedule fires — a standing instruction.

Examples:

• "Check our GitHub issues opened in the last 24 hours and summarize them in a morning report. Save to vault/reports/daily-issues.md"
• "Pull yesterday's sales data from the database and generate a performance summary. Post results to Slack."
• "Monitor the /status page of our API and alert if any endpoints return non-200."

---

Messaging Notifications

If the scheduled agent has a connected messaging channel (Slack, Telegram, Discord, etc.), results are automatically sent to that channel after each run.

Setup:

1. Configure a messaging channel for the agent — see Messaging Integration
2. Create a schedule for that agent
3. Results post automatically after each scheduled run

This is the primary way to get proactive agent updates without manually checking the UI.

---

Schedule Management

• Enable / Disable — toggle without deleting the schedule
• Run Now — trigger an immediate one-off run
• Execution History — view logs for past runs in Settings → Logs
• Last Run / Next Run — shown in the schedule list

---

Example: Daily Morning Standup

Schedule: 0 8 * * 1-5 (weekdays at 8 AM)

Prompt:

Prepare a morning standup report:
1. Check open GitHub PRs awaiting review
2. Summarize any new Jira tickets assigned to the team
3. Pull yesterday's deployment logs for any failures
4. Post a concise summary to the #standup Slack channel

Agent: Productivity Agent with GitHub, Jira, and Slack MCP servers connected.
