FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule recurring reminders and tasks within my agent?

You can schedule recurring reminders by adding jobs to a cron-like scheduler within the agent, which automates time-based actions and triggers messages on a set schedule across channels and users.

Can I use a cron-like scheduler for one-time reminders?

Yes, you can use a cron-like scheduler for one-time reminders by adding single-event jobs. This allows you to trigger a message for a single reminder or event without needing to set up a recurring schedule.

How do I manage and list scheduled tasks across different channels?

You can manage and list scheduled tasks across channels by using the scheduler to add, list, remove, enable, or disable jobs, ensuring deterministic execution and control over all time-based actions.

Does the scheduling support timezone-aware execution for automated tasks?

Yes, the scheduling supports timezone-aware execution for automated tasks by allowing you to set time zones for jobs, ensuring timely notifications and repeated checks occur at the correct local time across users.

What is the best way to automate time-based actions and notifications?

The best way to automate time-based actions and notifications is using a cron-like scheduler to add recurring or one-time jobs, enabling deterministic execution of timely notifications and repeated checks across users.

Why are my scheduled reminders not triggering at the expected time?

Scheduled reminders may not trigger at the expected time if time zones are not set correctly for the jobs, so you must configure timezone-aware execution to align deterministic checks with your local time.
