Run on a schedule

An agent that runs every morning before you sit down beats ten you have to remember to invoke. Schedules attach to a workflow containing your agent, and Cotera creates that wrapper for you.

Set it up

1. Open your agent (or a workflow containing it) and click Add trigger.
2. Choose On a schedule.
3. Pick a name, a frequency, and a time. Presets cover hourly, daily, and weekly; a cron expression covers anything else (0 9 * * 1-5 is weekdays at 9:00).
4. Click Add trigger. The next run times appear on the trigger card, and every run's full transcript lands in the run history.

Or skip the clicking: tell Coco "run this agent every weekday at 9am" and it creates the workflow, the trigger, and the wiring in one go.

Things to know

1. Check the timezone. Times in the picker are UTC; the trigger card shows the resolved timezone, so glance at it before you trust a 9:00 AM.
2. Give scheduled runs a default input. The agent runs unattended, so bake the target into the trigger's input or the agent's instructions ("check Stripe").
3. Read the first run. The run history is the fastest way to catch a missing tool connection or a prompt that assumed a human was watching.
