Work on a schedule.

Updated 2026-07-14

Beagle keeps appointments. Tell it to run something on a schedule in plain language - "summarise this channel every Monday at 9am", "draft the status report every Friday" - and it will. Scheduled runs show up in the task list, and each run is metered against your credits like any other work.

Setting a schedule

There is no cron syntax and no builder. Say when and what in the channel - the schedule is part of the request. Recurring deliverables are where Beagle pays for itself, because the second and every later run costs the team no attention beyond the approval.

Where schedules live

Every scheduled job appears in your task list, where you can see what is set to run and what each run produced. Cancel or change a schedule the same way you set it: tell Beagle.

When a run does not fire

Two usual causes: the schedule was cancelled or is no longer active, or the credit balance ran out. Check the task list for the schedule's status and your account for the balance. If both look right and a run still did not fire, email hello@heybeagle.com with what you expected and what happened.

FAQ

How do I schedule recurring work with Beagle?
Ask in plain language: "summarise this channel every Monday at 9am" or "draft the weekly report every Friday afternoon". Beagle confirms the schedule and keeps it. There is no cron syntax or workflow builder.

Do scheduled runs cost credits?
Yes. Scheduled and on-demand runs both draw down credits as Beagle works, the same as live chats with it. You can watch the balance from your account at any time.

Why did my scheduled run not fire?
Usually either the schedule is no longer active or the credit balance has run out. Check the task list and your balance; if both are fine, email hello@heybeagle.com and a human will dig in.
