Scheduled tasks let Adam run a saved instruction once, on a recurring cadence, or when a connected application emits a supported event.

​
Create a schedule

1

Open Scheduled

Select Scheduled in the sidebar, then select New scheduled task.
2

Describe the work

Enter the instructions Adam should follow on every run. A name is optional; Adam derives one from the opening of the instructions if you leave it blank.
3

Choose when it runs

Select a one-time date, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or custom schedule. The editor shows the next run using your detected time zone.
4

Create and review

Save the automation. Open it later to inspect run history, change its instructions, or adjust its schedule.

​
Manage an automation

From Scheduled, you can search automations and use the action menu to:
  • edit the name, instructions, or schedule;
  • pause or resume future runs;
  • inspect execution history; or
  • delete the automation.
Pausing preserves the automation but prevents future triggers until you resume it.

​
Event-triggered work

Adam can create automations triggered by supported events from connected applications. Ask Adam to create the trigger and describe the event precisely. The Scheduled editor shows an event trigger as read-only because the provider-specific trigger cannot be represented safely as a generic schedule form. You can still edit the automation’s name and instructions. Delete and recreate it through Adam to change what fires it.
Scheduled work can act on connected systems without you watching the run live. Make the target and allowed actions explicit, and require a report-only or approval step when a write would be risky.

​
Write reliable instructions

Include:
  • the data source or connected application;
  • the time window to inspect;
  • the expected output and destination;
  • what counts as an exception; and
  • whether Adam may write changes or must only report them.
