Automate your business processes with intelligent agent scheduling. Set up agents to run on schedules, respond to events, or trigger based on external conditions. From simple daily tasks to complex multi-step workflows, mixus scheduling ensures your AI agents work when you need them.
Agent scheduling in mixus transforms one-time AI interactions into powerful automation workflows. Whether you need daily reports, periodic data analysis, or event-driven responses, the scheduling system provides flexible options to automate your processes while maintaining full control and monitoring.
Run agents at regular intervals for continuous monitoring:
Interval Scheduling Options
โฐ Interval-Based Schedules:โก High Frequency (Real-time Monitoring):โโโ ๐ Every 5 minutes: System health checksโโโ ๐ Every 15 minutes: Price monitoringโโโ ๐ Every 30 minutes: Social media sentimentโโโ ๐ Every hour: Competitor analysis๐ Medium Frequency (Regular Updates):โโโ ๐ Every 2 hours: News aggregationโโโ ๐ Every 4 hours: Inventory updatesโโโ ๐ Every 6 hours: Customer feedback analysisโโโ ๐ Every 12 hours: Performance metrics๐ Low Frequency (Periodic Reviews):โโโ ๐ Daily: Content curationโโโ ๐ Weekly: Trend analysisโโโ ๐ Monthly: Compliance checksโโโ ๐ Quarterly: Strategic insights
Respond to events from connected services and systems:
Event Trigger Types
๐ก External Event Triggers:๐ฌ Communication Events:โโโ ๐ง New email received (specific sender/subject)โโโ ๐ฌ Slack message mentions or keywordsโโโ ๐ Calendar meeting starting/endingโโโ ๐ฑ SMS or WhatsApp message received๐ Business Events:โโโ ๐ฐ New sale or transaction completedโโโ ๐ค Customer support ticket createdโโโ ๐ KPI threshold crossed (up or down)โโโ ๐จ System alert or error detectedโโโ ๐ฆ Inventory level reached minimum๐ External Data Events:โโโ ๐ฐ News article matching keywordsโโโ ๐ Stock price movement beyond thresholdโโโ ๐ก๏ธ Weather condition changesโโโ ๐ Market data updatesโโโ ๐ Social media mentions or sentiment changes
Chain multiple agents in sequence with conditional logic:

## Troubleshooting### Common Scheduling Issues#### Schedule Execution Failures**Problem**: Scheduled agents fail to execute or complete successfully**Solutions**:- Check agent configuration and parameter validity- Verify external service connectivity and authentication- Review resource availability and system capacity- Examine error logs for specific failure reasons- Test agent execution manually to isolate issues#### Timing and Synchronization Problems**Problem**: Schedules execute at wrong times or out of sequence**Solutions**:- Verify timezone configurations across all systems- Check for daylight saving time handling- Review dependency chains and conditional logic- Validate external trigger configurations- Monitor system clock synchronization#### Performance and Resource Issues**Problem**: Scheduled agents consume excessive resources or run slowly**Solutions**:- Review and optimize agent complexity and resource usage- Implement better load balancing across time periods- Add resource limits and throttling mechanisms- Scale infrastructure capacity if consistently overloaded- Optimize data processing and external API calls## Related Features- [Agent Creation](/agents/creating) - Build agents for scheduled automation- [Agent Running](/agents/running) - Manual agent execution and management- [Integration Setup](/integrations/setup) - Connect external triggers and data sources## What's Next?Ready to automate your workflows with intelligent agent scheduling?
