Manager can handle the repetitive work you do “every day” or “every week.” You describe it once, and Manager will execute it automatically on your schedule—no need to remember or trigger it manually. This is Manager’s Automations feature.

​
Open the Automations Panel

In the Manager’s top toolbar, click the clock icon (Automations). The right-side panel will switch to your scheduled task list, where you can view and manage all automations.

​
Create a Scheduled Task

Creating a scheduled task is straightforward—just describe what you want in natural language, and Manager will turn it into a concrete automation.
1

Start a new automation

Open the Automations panel and click Create in the top-right corner, or type /schedule directly in the Manager chat.
2

Insert the schedule prompt

A /schedule prompt will be inserted automatically.
3

Describe your task

Describe what you want in natural language. For example:
/schedule Every day at 9 AM, check all open PRs on GitHub and send me a summary

/schedule Every Monday morning, organize last week's new issues into a prioritized TODO list

/schedule Every day at 11 PM, summarize today's commits and what was completed
4

Let Manager handle the rest

After sending, Manager will interpret your request, create the corresponding cron job, and start running it on schedule.

​
View Scheduled Tasks

The Automations panel displays all tasks in a list. Each item includes:
FieldDescription
Task name / descriptionA summary of your request
ScheduleA human-readable frequency (e.g., “Weekdays”, “Weekly”)
Next runThe next scheduled execution time
Last statusThe result of the most recent run (Done / Failed / Missed)

​
Status Definitions

StatusMeaning
DoneSuccessfully executed as scheduled
FailedEncountered an error during execution
MissedDid not run at the scheduled time

​
Manage Scheduled Tasks

​
Manually Run Missed Tasks

If a task was missed (e.g., your computer was off), it will be marked as Missed. Click Run to execute it immediately—no need to wait for the next scheduled time.

​
Delete Tasks

To remove an automation, click Delete next to the task and confirm. It will no longer run automatically.

​
Refresh Status

After each execution cycle, the panel updates automatically with the latest status—no manual refresh needed.

​
Use Cases

Daily Standup Prep

Automatically compile yesterday’s commits and today’s issues into a ready-to-use standup summary.

Code Quality Checks

Run linting and tests every Friday afternoon, generating a health report before the weekend.

Automated Reporting

Connect to your database and generate key metrics reports on a schedule—no manual work required.

Project Sync

Weekly summaries of project progress can be automatically pushed to Notion or other documentation tools.

Monitoring & Alerts

Periodically check APIs or services and notify you if something goes wrong.

​
Notes

Scheduled tasks only run while the Verdent app is active. If the app is closed, tasks will be marked as Missed and can be triggered manually.
Be specific with time descriptions (e.g., “9 AM” is better than “morning”).
No need to learn cron syntax—natural language is enough; Manager handles the conversion automatically.
