Scheduled Tasks Feature

Scheduled tasks let Dawn run work later or on a repeating schedule. They are useful for reminders, summaries, monitoring checks, and recurring operational workflows.

Execution model

  • Each run happens in the background rather than as a live interactive chat.
  • Users receive the result message, not a raw dump of every internal step.
  • Runs are visible in scheduled task history so teams can confirm what happened.

What to define

  • A clear task title so people know what the automation does.
  • A prompt that tells Dawn exactly what to do when the run starts.
  • A one-time or recurring schedule.
  • The destination conversation or channel where the result should appear.

Keep scheduled prompts focused. One task should do one clear job.

Operational checks

  • Task appears in list with next run time.
  • Run history captures successes and failures.
  • Delivered message is clearly marked as scheduled result.
  • Failed runs provide actionable diagnostics.
  • Pausing and resuming the task behaves as expected.
