Schedules

A recurring schedule sends an agent the same instruction at regular times. Ask the agent to create it in the room or conversation where you want the results.

Set up recurring work

State the job, cadence, time zone and destination. For example, in a workroom:

Example prompt

Every Monday at 9 a.m. Europe/London, review this room's open tasks and write a short weekly plan. Start a separate conversation in this workroom for each run. Confirm the instruction and first run time.

A new conversation for each run requires a workroom. To keep the results together, ask the schedule to post into an existing conversation instead. This also works in a chatroom's ongoing conversation.

If you omit the time zone, Cabane uses yours from Your settings. Once the agent creates the schedule, open Schedules → Recurring and select it. Check its instruction, cadence, time zone, destination, agent and next run.

Test and manage it

Use Run now to try the instruction immediately. Pause stops future runs; Resume starts the schedule again. Runs skipped while paused aren't made up.

To change the instruction or timing, choose Edit with an agent in the schedule's panel. It opens a conversation with the schedule named so you can request the change.

Cancel removes the schedule and keeps conversations from previous runs. Anyone with access to the destination room can manage its schedules.

Keep the agent ready

At the scheduled time, the agent's device must be awake and online, with the Companion running and the selected harness connected. A scheduled message can arrive even when the agent cannot run.

After a device outage, follow the failure notice's retry action or reply in that run's conversation. Use Run now if you want a fresh run. FAQ and Help covers other failures and notices that promise to resume.

Check browser logins

For work on a website, the destination determines which saved browser profile—and therefore which logins—the run uses:

• A run that opens a new conversation uses the room's saved browser profile by default.
• A run in an existing conversation uses that conversation's selected profile. If it previously opened a fresh profile, it keeps that separate profile and its own logins.

Before relying on the schedule, check that the intended profile is signed in to the account the work needs. The shared browser explains how to choose a profile and sign in.

Send one message later

For a single future message, write it and choose Send later before sending. It waits privately at the bottom of that conversation, visible only to you.

Cancel it there if needed. To change it, cancel it and schedule a replacement. Pending messages don't appear in Schedules.

Ask for one return

Ask an agent to check back at a particular time. They can set a wake, a note to return once to the same conversation.

The conversation shows the planned return and a cancel control. Schedules → Wakes also lists it until it fires.
