Schedule Tasks

A scheduled task is a Custom Agent that runs on a clock instead of waiting for you to type. Ask in plain language and Minara saves an agent with a trigger: a daily brief, a one-time reminder, or a recurring scan. When the trigger fires, the agent runs its saved instructions on its own.

How scheduling works

Every scheduled task is a saved agent plus a trigger. The trigger decides when it runs:

• Recurring (cron). A wall-clock schedule like "every weekday at 9am".
• One-time (once). A single future run, for reminders.
• Interval. A fixed gap like "every 15 minutes".

By default a scheduled task is read-only. It can read markets, your portfolio, and memory, and it can message you, but it does not move funds. See Schedules that move money below to change that.

Recurring tasks

Prompt

Every weekday at 8am Shanghai time, research my watchlist and send me the highlights on Telegram.

Agent response:

I'll save a scheduled agent:

• Trigger: every weekday at 08:00 Asia/Shanghai
• Does: research your watchlist, summarize the highlights
• Delivery: Telegram
• Permissions: read-only (no trades)

Confirm to save? Reply yes or no.

If the delivery channel isn't connected yet, Minara stops and points you to Messaging.

One-time reminders

Prompt

Remind me to review my SOL position next Tuesday at 2pm.

Agent response:

I'll set a one-time reminder:

• Trigger: once, next Tuesday 14:00 your time
• Does: pull your SOL position and recent price action, then message you

Confirm to save? Reply yes or no.

A one-time task runs, delivers, and retires itself.

Interval scans

Prompt

Every 15 minutes, check if any of my watchlist tokens moved more than 5%, and alert me if so.

Agent response:

Saving a scheduled agent:

• Trigger: every 15 minutes
• Does: scan your watchlist, alert on a move over 5%
• Delivery: your configured channel
• Permissions: read-only

Confirm to save? Reply yes or no.

Scheduled task, workflow, or Autopilot?

• A scheduled task is one saved agent turn on a clock. Reach for it when the job is "run this prompt on a schedule and tell me."
• A workflow is a multi-step recipe with conditions and branches. Reach for it when the job wires several steps together.
• Autopilot is autonomous trading with caps and kill conditions. Reach for it when you want a strategy to trade for you.

Schedules that move money

Most scheduled tasks only watch and report. To let one trade on its own, you turn that on explicitly when you save it.

Heads up: approving a money-moving schedule is a one-time yes for every future run. Before it goes live, Minara shows exactly which steps move money and how often the task runs, then asks you to confirm. Until then the task stays read-only. The safety check is described in Fund-moving confirmation.
