A scheduled task runs an agent automatically on a repeating schedule, like a summary every Monday morning or a check that runs every hour.

​
Ask the agent to schedule it

Most of the time you don’t set anything up by hand. Just ask an agent to do something on a schedule and it creates the task for you:
Every Monday at 9am, check our competitors’ pricing pages and message me anything that changed.
The agent needs the Schedule Tasks capability, which the built-in QX agent already has. It writes the task, picks the timing, and can send each result to your chat or a connected channel. See Capabilities. Each run starts a fresh conversation with no memory of previous runs, and its result shows up in your chat history and on any channel you chose.
Nobody is there to approve actions during a scheduled run. An action that needs approval, like sending an email or posting to Slack, is skipped, and the result tells you what was skipped. Set the actions a task depends on to Always allow before relying on it, see Scheduled tasks, flows, and grids.

​
Set one up yourself

You can also create schedules by hand at Agents → Schedules. Click New to pick the agent, write the instructions it runs each time, choose where the result goes (web chat or a connected channel), and set the cadence, anywhere from minutely to monthly, with a preview like “Every week on Monday at 09:00”. Toggle Enable Schedule to turn it on.

To change one later, open it from Agents → Schedules. From there you can edit it, disable it with the Enable Schedule toggle, or delete it from the list.
