Scheduled tasks

Create a scheduled task

A scheduled task runs a recurring check or report and keeps its results with an event. Use it when you want to revisit the same question on a schedule, such as a weekly campaign summary.

Open an event and ask Chat for the report and timing you want:

Every Monday at 9am, summarize what changed in this launch campaign and list decisions waiting on me.

You can also open Settings / Scheduled and choose New scheduled task. Review the instructions, timing, and event association. If you don't choose an event when creating a task in Settings, Weaver creates one for its results.

Check your time zone in Settings / General. Be specific about the desired output: "list unanswered launch decisions" is more useful than "check my email."

Read the results

Open the owning event's Scheduled section to see the task and its latest output. Review the report in the context of the event and open the original sources if you need to verify a detail.

Scheduled runs are for reading information and producing reports. They don't send emails or make other changes unattended. If a report suggests an action, review it and take that action separately.

Change or pause a scheduled task

Open Settings / Scheduled to view all scheduled tasks. The task menu offers Run now, Pause or Resume, Edit, and Delete.

Edit the instructions or schedule when your needs change. Pause a task to prevent future scheduled runs; resume it when you want recurring reports again. Pausing future runs is different from stopping an ordinary to-do execution in Chat.

For a concrete example, see Schedule a weekly update.
