Scheduling

Run automations automatically on a recurring schedule.

Creating a schedule

From an automation's detail page, click Add Schedule to create a recurring run. You can configure:

  • Frequency — how often the automation runs
  • Timezone — schedules execute in your selected timezone

Frequency options

Schedule cadence is gated by your plan tier:

PlanMaximum frequency
FreeNo scheduling
StarterOnce per day
Pro / FoundingEvery 6 hours
BusinessHourly

A Starter user can schedule daily, weekly, or monthly runs but not anything more frequent than once a day. A Pro user can schedule down to every-6-hours but not hourly.

Cron expressions

All paid plans can use custom cron expressions in advanced mode:

  • 0 9 * * 1-5 — weekdays at 9 AM
  • 0 */6 * * * — every 6 hours
  • 0 8,20 * * * — twice daily at 8 AM and 8 PM

The cron expression must respect your plan's maximum frequency. A Starter user can write 0 9 * * 1 (Mondays at 9 AM) but not 0 */6 * * * (every 6 hours).

Monitoring scheduled runs

Each schedule shows its execution history — when it ran, whether it succeeded, and the results. Failed runs are flagged so you can investigate.

Pausing and deleting

You can pause a schedule to temporarily stop it without losing the configuration, or delete it entirely. Pausing is useful during website maintenance windows or when you need to adjust the automation.
