By default, Runchats will only run when you trigger them within the Editor or App views. To schedule a new Job, click on the 🕒 icon on a Runchat in the dashboard. Then click the dropdown to choose a run frequency. You can run jobs on an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis. Screenshot 2025-07-02 at 12.41.17 pm.png

Cancelling a job

To stop a job from running, click the 🕒 icon in the Editor toolbar and then set the schedule back to Never.

​
Job Inputs

Scheduled jobs will run with the same set of input parameters set out in your Runchat. You cannot pass different inputs to different jobs. If you need to run a Runchat on a schedule with different input data, you can use the Runchat API instead. Because of this constraint, Scheduled jobs are most useful when the retrieve data from elsewhere on the internet when they run. For instance, scheduled jobs might:
  • Check a spreadsheet or database for new content
  • Check social media posts
  • Check forums, messageboards or marketplaces
  • Call external APIs (e.g. stock market indexes etc)

​
Job Outputs

Any runchat can be run on a schedule. However, because you will not be able to inspect the runchat after it has run (as you would in the editor view) or see the result (as you would in the app view), you should only schedule Runchats that interact with some service outside of runchat. For instance, you might schedule a Runchat that:
  • Writes to a spreadsheet each week
  • Sends an email or newsletter each month
  • Checks an API endpoint every hour and then sends an alert email if a condition is met
Unnecessarily automating runchats that run large prompts can quickly consume API credits!
