Scheduled Jobs & Automations

Scheduled Jobs let your OpenClaw bot run work later or on a repeating schedule.

Use them for reminders, reports, check-ins, and other tasks you do not want to repeat manually.

What Scheduled Jobs are

Scheduled Jobs are recurring assistant tasks.

They are good for work that should happen:

• later
• every day
• every week
• every few hours
• on a clear timetable

Good jobs to create

Good examples:

• “Remind me every weekday at 7:30 AM to review my priorities.”
• “Send me a morning briefing every day at 8 AM.”
• “Every Friday, prepare a weekly summary of what I finished.”
• “Check this site regularly and alert me if it goes down.”
• “Every evening, remind me to close out open tasks.”

If the task sounds like “do this every day/week/hour,” it is probably a good Scheduled Job.

Best creation flow

What you can do from the Scheduled Jobs page

The dashboard lets you:

• see existing jobs
• check whether a job is enabled
• pause or resume jobs
• run a job immediately
• start from templates like Morning Briefing, Bill Reminder, Price Drop Alert, and Server Down Alert

Why Run Now matters

Use Run Now to test important jobs.

It helps you confirm:

• the prompt is clear
• the output is useful
• the job still works
• the timing is not the only problem

Timezone and credits

Timezone matters. If your timezone is wrong, a valid job can run at the wrong local time.

Credits and plan state can also matter because Scheduled Jobs are real assistant runs, not simple timer popups.
