A schedule is the most common trigger: a recurring time at which an Agent Automation fires. One Agent Automation can carry several schedules, each toggled independently.

​
The schedule kinds

  • Daily: every day at a time you set
  • Weekdays: Monday to Friday at a time
  • Weekly: one or more chosen days at a time
  • Monthly: a day of the month at a time
  • Interval: every N minutes or hours, around the clock. The floor is 5 minutes
When you add one, Cando shows a plain-English preview of exactly what you’ve set before you commit.

​
Timezones

Times are measured in your organization’s timezone, set at onboarding from the founder’s browser and changeable in settings. “9am daily” means 9am where the business lives, not where each member happens to be. One caution: local times between midnight and 3am cross daylight-saving transitions, which can make a yearly firing vanish or double. The preview warns you; if the exact hour doesn’t matter, pick a time outside that window.

​
Next run

An Agent Automation’s detail pane always shows its next run, computed across every enabled schedule. If next run isn’t when you expected, check which schedules are toggled on.

​
A run must fit its interval

A run gets until its next firing is due, capped at 30 minutes. A job on a five-minute interval that needs six minutes is stopped and recorded as failed, so the schedule never silently backs up. If that happens, slow the cadence or shrink the brief.

​
Beyond schedules

Schedules are one trigger kind of three. Manual (“Run now”) is always there, and event triggers start an Agent Automation when something happens rather than when a clock strikes. See Agent Automations for the full picture.
