Schedule

Schedule lists the activities that run on their own, on a timer, for your organization. Each one is a cron: an activity, such as Runner, and a schedule that says when it fires. A Runner cron files a task each time it fires, so work that recurs — a weekly report, a dependency update — happens without anyone starting it.

Open it from the sidebar: select Automation, then the Schedule tab.

Schedule is shown only to Owners and Admins of your organization. Everyone else sees only the Playbooks tab. See Playbooks.

For the steps, see Create an automation schedule and Run, pause or change a schedule.
