# Automations

> Run agent workflows on a recurring schedule

Automations run a prompt on a recurring schedule without manual intervention. Each run produces a full conversation you can review in the agent's history.

## Creating an automation

Ask your agent to set one up:

> "Schedule a daily automation at 7am to pull my Granola meetings and draft follow-up emails."

The agent synthesizes a prompt, confirms the details, and starts running it on schedule.

## Run history

Every automation logs its runs with status, duration, and a summary. Click any run to see the full conversation.

## Managing automations

You can pause, edit, or delete automations from the detail page. Pausing stops runs temporarily without losing your setup.
