Scheduling

Setting up a scheduled flow

1. Go to Console → Flows → New Flow
2. Select trigger type Schedule
3. Choose a frequency: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Custom cron
4. Set the timezone
5. Select an Internal agent (scheduled flows require Internal agents)
6. Write Instructions — plain markdown describing what the agent should do on each run
7. Save and enable

Note

Scheduled flows do not receive event payloads. Your Instructions field is sent to the agent as the task query. Template variables like {{date.today}} are not supported — write the task in plain language instead.

Writing scheduled instructions

Since there is no user input, make instructions self-contained:

Your task on each run:

1. Pull GitHub issues opened in the last 7 days from acme/app
2. Group them by label (bug, feature, question)
3. Count open vs. closed
4. Write a brief weekly summary
5. Post the summary to #engineering on Slack

Timezone handling

Set your schedule’s timezone in the flow settings. Cron expressions are evaluated in that timezone.

Monitoring scheduled runs

View run history in Flows → [flow name] → Run History. Failed runs show the error message from the agent run — check credits, agent instructions, and integration connections if a run fails repeatedly.
