Scheduled tasks
Some things should happen on their own, on a schedule: a reminder email every morning, a weekly summary, a nightly tidy-up. Your app can do that — you don't have to keep anything open, and neither does your AI. onvibe runs the task for you at the times you choose.
What it's good for
- Reminders — "email people about things expiring in 3 days, every morning."
- Digests — "send me a summary of new sign-ups every Monday at 9am."
- Clean-ups — "delete unconfirmed entries older than a week, every night."
- Refreshes — "re-check prices once an hour."
How to ask for it
Just describe it in plain words and your AI sets it up. Be specific about when and what:
"Every day at 9am (Madrid time), look for items that expire in the next 3 days and email their owners a reminder."
Your AI will add the schedule and the code that runs, then deploy. From then on it runs by itself.
Good to know
- How often: anything from once a minute to once a month. The smallest step is one minute.
- Time zone: say which one (e.g. "Madrid time"), or it defaults to UTC.
- Keep it quick: each run has about a minute to finish. For big jobs, ask your AI to process things in batches.
- You're in control: ask your AI to "list the scheduled tasks" to see them, or "run the reminders task now" to test it without waiting.
- Emails: scheduled tasks pair naturally with sending email — just say what the message should contain.
A ready-to-copy prompt
"Add a daily scheduled task that runs at 8:30 in the morning (Europe/Madrid). It should find everything in my app that's due within 2 days and send each person a short reminder email. Then show me how to test it."
