Cron Jobs
Cron jobs send a saved prompt to Hermes on a schedule so repeated work does not depend on a manual chat message.
- 1
Create a schedule
Choose a name, schedule, delivery target, and prompt that fully describes the recurring task.
- 2
Confirm the timing
Review the schedule before saving. Use predictable daily or weekly timing when possible.
- 3
Test the job
Trigger the job manually once to confirm that the prompt, provider, tools, and connected apps are ready.
- 4
Pause or resume
Pause jobs that should temporarily stop without deleting their configuration. Resume them when the workflow is ready again.
