What is a scheduled task
A scheduled task makes an agent run an analysis automatically on a schedule and push the conclusion to you. You decide which analysis to run, how often, and where the result goes — and it runs itself, with no one watching.Typical scenarios
- Every day at 9 AM, analyze yesterday’s key order metrics and push them to a Feishu group
- Every Monday, summarize last week’s sales and send it to a mailbox
- At the start of each month, generate a monthly business report
Configuration
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Instruction | The analysis for the agent, in natural language, e.g., “Analyze yesterday’s orders and output the key metrics” |
| Frequency | Set with a cron expression, e.g., daily 0 9 * * * or every Monday 0 9 * * 1. The interval must be at least 10 minutes |
| Notification | Where results are delivered: a Feishu webhook or email |
| Enabled | A toggle; you must set a notification method before enabling |
Running and history
- Trigger now — Run once without waiting for the schedule, to verify the configuration
- Run history — Every run is logged, with its conclusion, status (success / failure), and time
- Next trigger — Shows the next automatic run time
Scheduled tasks vs channels
Both connect to an agent, but in different directions:- Channel: the user starts it — a two-way conversation, you ask and it answers
- Scheduled task: the system starts it on a schedule — a one-way push, it runs automatically and sends you the result
