Put recurring questions on autopilot with scheduled tasks

Step 1 of 8

01 / 08Overview

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.
