FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule recurring tasks and automated reminders for my agents?

To schedule recurring tasks, you can create cron jobs using standard cron expressions that trigger either fixed text messages or agent-driven prompts at specified times. You must include an explicit agent-id for all commands to ensure tasks route to the correct workspace.

What's the best way to manage periodic status checks and daily report generation?

Managing periodic status checks is done by creating agent-driven cron jobs that execute scheduled prompts on a recurring basis. You can use the full lifecycle commands to list, pause, resume, or run these jobs immediately as needed.

Can I use cron expressions to send scheduled notifications to delivery channels?

Yes, you can use cron expressions to send scheduled notifications to delivery channels like imessage. The cron jobs support both fixed text messages for simple reminders and agent prompts for complex automated queries.

What operations are supported for managing scheduled jobs beyond creation?

Beyond creation, scheduled jobs support standard lifecycle management commands including list, get, state, pause, resume, run, and delete. This allows full control over recurring tasks without manual intervention.

Why do my scheduled task commands fail with a missing agent-id error?

Scheduled task commands require an explicit agent-id for all operations to prevent accidental assignment to the wrong agent workspace. Always ensure the agent-id parameter is included when executing any cron job command.
