Agent Schedules

Run agents on a recurring cadence

Schedules let an agent run on a cron-like cadence without being triggered by a task or comment. Use them for routine operations that should happen on their own, like weekly billing reviews or daily pipeline digests.

What a Schedule Specifies

  • Agent - Which agent runs
  • Cadence - Daily, weekly, monthly, or custom cron
  • Prompt - What the agent should do each run
  • Scope - Optional project, account, or filter

Common Uses

  • Weekly client status summaries posted to Slack
  • Daily review of overdue invoices with follow-up drafts
  • Monthly billing reconciliation
  • End-of-day standup digests for project managers

Monitoring

Every scheduled run creates an agent run record with tokens, cost, and output. Pause a schedule anytime, or tighten its spending cap if it's running hot.
