Put recurring questions on autopilot with scheduled tasks
Step 1 of 8
Understand what deserves scheduling
A scheduled task is a prompt Claude runs on a timetable — each run is a fresh, full session with web search and your connectors available.
Checkpoint
You've picked one real recurring question — not an invented one.
Before you begin
Tick these off as you sort them. Stopping halfway to create an account is how a fifteen-minute build becomes an hour.

- Account
Scheduled tasks are a Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise feature — Claude has to be able to work while you're not there.
- Know-how
Competitor prices, industry news, 'what did I promise people this week'. If you ask it repeatedly, it's a candidate. Don't invent tasks — automate existing habits.
The basics — ticked once, remembered everywhere
- Account
Either the hosted version or a self-hosted install. Everything here works the same on both — the only visible difference is the shape of your webhook URLs.
Create a workspace - Know-how
Adding a node, connecting two of them, and pressing Execute. If any of that is new, the free primer covers it in about ten minutes.
- Credential
You will paste at least one secret during setup. A password manager beats a notes app, and it stops you pasting a live key into a chat window by accident.
The shape of the setup
The Claude features you will touch, left to right, in the order you use them.
What you will build
Jump straight to any step, or print the list and tick it off beside your Claude tab.
