SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cron schedules reminders and messages to run at a defined time or interval, reducing manual follow-ups and missed tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

One-shot reminders: schedule a single alert at a precise time.
Recurring reminders: set up cron-based schedules (e.g., daily at 8am, every 15 minutes) for ongoing notifications.
Channel-aware delivery: replies are posted in the same chat where the reminder was created and stored with the job.

Quick Start

Add a new reminder with a specific time or cron expression.

FAQPage Schema

How do I schedule recurring reminders for my chat channels?▼

To schedule recurring reminders, you configure a job object with a cron schedule and your message payload. The system triggers alerts at exact intervals, posting notifications directly to the chat channel where the job was created.

What is the difference between a one-shot reminder and a cron schedule?▼

A one-shot reminder triggers a single alert at a precise ISO 8601 timestamp, while a cron schedule automates recurring notifications at defined intervals like daily at 8am or every 15 minutes.

Can I list and remove existing scheduled notifications?▼

Yes, you can manage existing scheduled notifications by setting the command or arguments.action parameter to list or remove. This allows you to review active jobs and delete them when they are no longer needed.

Does chat-delivery for reminders work across different task workflows?▼

Chat-delivery is channel-aware, automatically posting triggered alerts in the exact chat where the reminder was created. This ensures notifications stay within the context of your ongoing task workflows.

What format is required for scheduling a precise one-time alert?▼

Scheduling a precise one-time alert requires an ISO 8601 timestamp to define the exact trigger time. You include this timestamp within the job object alongside your alert message.

Why are my scheduled reminders not triggering in the chat?▼

Reminders fail to trigger if the command or arguments.action parameter is not set to add, or if the job object lacks a valid message and schedule. Ensure your ISO 8601 timestamp or cron expression is correctly formatted.
