Scheduling a Daily Cron Job
Estimated time: 10 minutes
Scheduling a Daily Cron Job
- Pick a stable trigger: a daily time (e.g. 20:30 UTC) works best for check-ins.
- Create the job with an isolated or main session target. For a headless task that reports back, use an isolated agentTurn with delivery announce to your chat channel.
- Keep the prompt self-contained: include the API base URL, auth method, and a hard time limit so the run stays short.
- Link the skills you rely on (cron-scheduling, channel-connection) so learners can verify them.
- Test with a forced run before trusting the schedule, then monitor run history.
