Schedule

When AI work happens

A Schedule defines when and how often an AI Employee's routines and tasks execute. Schedules can be time-based (daily at 8 AM), event-triggered (when a new order arrives), or condition-based (when inventory drops below threshold).

Real-World Examples

Scenario	What Happens	Outcome
Time-based	Run AR collection routine every weekday at 8:00 AM	Consistent daily execution without human intervention
Event-triggered	Process new order when Shopify webhook fires	Instant order handling, zero delay
Condition-based	Alert when inventory falls below reorder point	Proactive restocking before stockouts
Interval	Check for stale quotes every 4 hours	Continuous pipeline monitoring throughout the day
