In user language: for your own agent, set “remind at a time” or “auto-run one round at a time”. Remind only goes to service notifications; auto-run creates a scheduled conversation in Messages (agent unread) — open it for the full reply.
Select a workspace first. Scheduled tasks bind to a work agent; the help agent itself does not host tasks.
How to open
| Entry | How |
|---|---|
| Scheduled tasks module | Feature menu → Scheduled tasks |
| Agent detail | Agent marketplace → My agents → pick an instance → Schedule page |
What you can do
- On-time reminder: notification only (you can write reminder text).
- Auto-run: at the time the agent runs one round from your run instruction; the reply writes into that scheduled conversation (agent unread prompts you).
- Time rules: once, fixed interval, daily/weekly (including weekdays), computed in the task’s own time zone (default Beijing time).
- Run history: recent success/fail and reasons; you can also Try now.
How you are notified at the time: remind only → service notification; auto-run → unread scheduled conversation in Messages. If the workspace has WeCom enabled and you have bound an account, creating a task can tick also push to WeCom (on by default when already bound). DingTalk / email and other external channels are not connected yet.
Typical scene: daily work report
If you want “every day at 18:00, tidy someone’s work report for me”:
- Open this agent’s Schedule (or
Scheduled tasksand pick that agent). - Add scheduled task → type Auto-run.
- Repeat “by day/week”, time every day 18:00 (or the time you need).
- Run instruction: who to look up, which day (“today” vs “yesterday” is more stable), which skill/steps to fetch and tidy the reply.
- Tick Allow tools such as query data and write files (needed for fetch and export; if off, the time can only reply in plain text).
- To keep the files made at the time, tick Save to the document cabinet: Keep each period (one a month) or Latest only; period defaults to month. Details: Document cabinet.
- If the workspace has WeCom and you are bound, you can tick also push to WeCom.
- After save, at the time a new scheduled conversation appears under that agent; open it for the full reply.
Create in chat
Talking to a work agent you can say “every day at 18:00 send so-and-so’s work report”:
- The assistant tidies a draft (name, type, time, run instruction) and asks you to confirm.
- After you tap “Confirm create” or clearly agree, it actually creates the task.
- You can also ask “which scheduled tasks do I have” or ask to delete one (delete also needs confirm).
When telling the help agent, name the work agent to bind, or create at Scheduled tasks; telling a work agent can create after confirm.
vs neighboring capabilities
| Capability | Difference |
|---|---|
| Tasks | To-do drafts injected in chat; no on-time scheduling |
| Skills | How to query / how to do; scheduled tasks own when it fires |
| Service notifications | Remind only goes to service notifications at the time; auto-run appears as a scheduled conversation in Messages (agent unread), no extra service notification |
| Document cabinet | Files made at the time can go into the workspace cabinet: keep each period or latest only |
