Scheduling routines

Routines are automated triggers that run your playbooks on a recurring basis. You can set up a routine to run a playbook at a specific time, such as daily, weekly, or monthly. Each time a routine runs, it will create a new session in WRITER Agent.

From the Playbooks tab you can schedule a routine using the three dot ••• icon next to a playbook.

Additionally, you can select Manage WRITER Agent in the top right and then select the Routines tab.

You'll then be asked to name your routine then select how often it should run and when. Once you’ve set your time, select your timezone and then select Next.

If you've created a playbook you'll be able to select it from the list and save your changes. If you haven't created a playbook yet you will need to do that first. Please take note if you'd like your agent to run autonomously your playbook should not contain variables as these will need to be completed each time your playbook runs.
