SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up a recurring automation can be confusing for new users who don't know what to automate, how often it should run, or which integrations are required. This Skill guides users step by step from idea to a working scheduled agent. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Curated Automation Ideas: Presents five concrete starter automations such as daily news digests, weekly meeting reminders, inbox summaries, daily affirmations, and scheduled reports. - Guided Requirements Gathering: Asks targeted questions about the task, schedule, delivery channel (email, text, or in-app), and required integrations like Gmail or Google Calendar. - Scheduled Agent Creation: Uses the create_scheduled_task tool to build the automation and tells the user exactly where to test, edit, or delete it in the Agents tab. - Use Case: A user wants a morning email with top tech headlines. The Skill confirms the schedule and Gmail integration, then creates a scheduled agent that fetches and emails the digest daily. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help you create your first automation, such as a daily news digest emailed to you every morning.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a scheduled automation with a Zo agent?▼

Describe the task, frequency, and delivery channel you want, and the assistant uses the create_scheduled_task tool to build the agent. You can then test, edit, or delete it from the Agents tab in the left rail.

What are good first automations to set up?▼

Popular starters include a daily news digest email, a weekly meeting reminder, an inbox zero summary, daily affirmation texts, and recurring status reports saved as files. Starting simple helps you see results quickly.

Do I need Gmail or Google Calendar connected before creating an automation?▼

Yes, automations that read email or calendar data require those integrations to be connected first. The Skill checks prerequisites and helps you connect the required apps before creating the scheduled task.

Where can I edit or delete a scheduled agent after creation?▼

Open the Agents tab from the left rail, or the top-right menu on mobile. From there you can test, edit, or delete any automation you have created.

Can an automation send results by text message instead of email?▼

Yes, automations can deliver results over email, text message, or within Zo itself. Specify your preferred delivery channel during setup so the scheduled task instructions include it.
