Autonomous Agents: Schedules, Background & Approvals
Run tasks on background cron schedules, review human-in-the-loop approvals, and inspect run replays.
Autonomous agents do not wait for manual user commands. They trigger on cadences you configure and pause for human confirmation when executing sensitive actions.
Configuring Recurring Schedules#
Define recurring execution rules using intuitive presets (every morning at 8:00 AM, every Monday at 9:00 AM, or custom cron intervals).
- 1
Open Dashboard Schedules
Navigate to Dashboard > Schedules and click 'New Schedule'.
- 2
Select Agent & Prompt
Choose the target agent and specify the task instruction (e.g., 'Generate daily sales report and email brief').
- 3
Pick Recurrence Interval
Select frequency and target timezone.
- 4
Save and Activate
The worker daemon automatically triggers your agent at the appointed time.
Human Approvals Gatekeeper#
Safety Boundary
Actions classified with high external impact (e.g., executing refunds, modifying customer data, or publishing external campaigns) are halted in the Approvals queue until you explicitly click 'Approve'.
Audit Trail & Run Replay#
Every execution is logged with start time, duration, token usage, tool call parameters, and final output. Use the Run Replay tool in the Dashboard to inspect exact tool inputs and verify agent behavior.
