Scheduled Tasks

Set it and forget it. Define cron-based schedules and Ottolax automatically triggers your agents to run recurring tasks — daily reports, weekly summaries, monthly audits, and more.

Recurring Work on Autopilot

Not every task needs a human to start it. Ottolax’s scheduled task system lets you define exactly when your agents spring into action — and then forget about it.

How It Works

  1. Create a scheduled task with a title and description
  2. Assign it to an agent
  3. Set a cron expression (or pick from quick-select presets)
  4. Enable it — and it runs on schedule, forever

Cron Presets

  • Every 5 minutes
  • Every hour
  • Daily at 9 AM
  • Every Monday morning
  • First of every month

Or write your own custom cron expression for precise control.

Common Use Cases

Daily Operations

  • Morning briefing: summarize overnight emails and messages
  • Daily standup notes: compile team updates
  • Metrics digest: pull key KPIs and format a report

Weekly Cadence

  • Weekly review: analyze completed tasks, surface blockers
  • Content calendar: draft next week’s posts
  • Expense summary: categorize and total weekly spend

Monthly & Quarterly

  • Monthly reports: aggregate data, generate executive summary
  • Compliance checks: verify configurations and policies
  • Backup and archive: move completed projects to long-term storage

Full CRUD Interface

Manage all scheduled tasks from the dashboard — view last run, next run, and run count. Manually trigger any task with one click. Pause and resume as needed.
