Scheduled runs
By the end of this page you will have put a deployed agent on a recurring schedule and know how to run, pause, and review it.
Prerequisites
- Admin role.
- A deployment with at least one agent. See Managing agents.
What a scheduled run is
A schedule runs one of a deployment’s agents automatically at a recurring time, with a fixed input. It’s ideal for unattended, repeating jobs — for example, a Sales Ingestor Task Agent that ingests the previous day’s sales every night.
Schedules belong to the deployment, not the agent editor, so the same published agent can run on different schedules in different deployments.
The Schedules tab
Open a deployment and select Schedules. Each schedule shows the agent it runs, its cadence in plain language, its timezone, when it last ran and what happened, and when it runs next.
Creating a schedule
Add a schedule
Click Add Schedule and pick the agent to run — for example, Sales Ingestor.
Set the cadence
Choose how often it runs. In Simple mode, pick a Frequency — Every day, Weekdays (Mon–Fri), Specific days, or Every N hours — and a timezone. For full control, switch to Cron Expression and enter your own. The dialog shows the schedule in plain language so you can confirm it.
Provide the input
Enter the input data (JSON) the agent receives on each run. Leave it empty if the agent needs no input.
Save
Save the schedule. It appears on the Schedules tab with its next run time.
Frequency and credits
Schedules fall into frequency tiers based on cadence:
- Daily cadences allow up to a set number of runs per day.
- Hourly cadences run more often.
Each tier reserves credits per month, shown on the schedule card and when you create it.
A schedule card shows runs used today against the day’s limit. When a daily limit is reached, Run Now is unavailable until the next day.
Managing a schedule
From a schedule’s actions you can:
- Run Now — trigger a run immediately (subject to the daily limit).
- Pause / Resume — stop and restart the schedule without deleting it.
- View History — see past runs and their outcomes.
- Edit — change cadence, timezone, or input.
- Delete — remove the schedule.
Common issues
- The agent isn’t selectable — only deployed agents can be scheduled. Add it to the deployment first.
- Run Now is greyed out — the daily run limit for the schedule’s tier has been reached.
- A run failed — open View History and then the run in Monitoring to see what happened.
