FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule recurring tasks across multiple channels?

Scheduling recurring tasks requires a cron expression, a target channel such as discord or dingtalk, and content payload. You can create, list, pause, resume, or delete these recurring jobs to control automated actions.

What is the difference between text and agent job types for automation?

Text job types send a fixed message to a channel, whereas agent job types query the Agent and relay the reply. Both types support cross-channel execution and require valid cron expressions for scheduling.

Can I deliver scheduled messages to platforms like Discord or DingTalk?

Yes, cross-channel execution supports delivering scheduled jobs to platforms including imessage, discord, dingtalk, qq, and console. You must specify the target channel and identifiers when creating the recurring job.

How do I pause and resume scheduled jobs without deleting them?

You can pause and resume scheduled jobs using dedicated state management commands. This temporarily halts recurring task execution while preserving the job configuration for future on-demand or scheduled runs.

What components are required to create a valid cron job?

Creating a valid cron job requires a cron expression, the target channel, destination identifiers, and the content payload. Built-in validation and safety checks ensure the recurring task executes reliably across channels.

Can I run a scheduled task manually on demand?

Yes, you can run scheduled tasks on demand. Alongside automated recurring execution based on your cron expression, the system supports manually triggering a job to execute immediately across multichannel targets when needed.
