Schedules

A schedule is a recurring request to Ren, such as every weekday at 9am. Each run starts a new chat in the schedule’s project automatically.

For example, a schedule can check your sales data every morning and update a dashboard artifact, or summarize the week’s support tickets every Friday afternoon.

In the API and CLI, a schedule is a cronTrigger.

Create a schedule

Setting What it does
Message The request Ren receives on each run.
Project Where each run’s chat starts. The run uses the project’s instructions, tools, and permissions.
Repeat Every hour, Every day, Every weekday, Every week, Every month, or Custom cron, with a time.
Timezone The time zone the schedule follows. New schedules use your organization’s time zone.
Until An optional end date, after which the schedule stops running.
Model An optional model for the runs. Without one, runs use the project’s default model.
  1. Open Scheduled in the sidebar and select Create schedule.
  2. Enter the Message, like “Summarize yesterday’s support tickets and post the top three issues.”
  3. Choose the Project.
  4. Choose a repeat interval and time. For a custom schedule, select Custom cron. Enter a cron expression, such as 0 9 * * 1-5 for weekdays at 9am.
  5. If you want, change the Timezone, set an Until date, or pick a Model.
  6. Select Create schedule. The dialog shows when the next run is.

Run history and limits

To find past runs, filter the sidebar’s chat list by the Scheduled source.

Scheduled chats deny actions set to Ask. Set required actions to Allow in the project’s permissions.

If your organization runs out of credits, Ren pauses its schedules and skips their runs until credits are added.

Edit, pause, resume, or delete a schedule

A paused schedule keeps its settings but doesn’t run, and its card stops showing a next run time.

Pausing, editing, or deleting a schedule doesn’t stop an active chat, and chats from earlier runs stay in the chat list.

Open Scheduled in the sidebar. Use Filter schedules to show only Enabled or Paused schedules. On the schedule’s card:

  • Select the edit button to change its settings, then Save.
  • Select the pause button to pause it, or the resume button to resume it.
  • Select the delete button, then Delete to remove it.
