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. 1

    Create a schedule

    Choose a name, schedule, delivery target, and prompt that fully describes the recurring task.

  2. 2

    Confirm the timing

    Review the schedule before saving. Use predictable daily or weekly timing when possible.

  3. 3

    Test the job

    Trigger the job manually once to confirm that the prompt, provider, tools, and connected apps are ready.

  4. 4

    Pause or resume

    Pause jobs that should temporarily stop without deleting their configuration. Resume them when the workflow is ready again.
