Schedules
Each drone runs on a configurable cron schedule. Schedules define when your drone performs its regular tasks — outreach campaigns, reply checks, job searches, candidate sourcing, etc.
Cloud-Based Scheduling
Schedules are powered by AWS EventBridge Scheduler. This means your schedules fire reliably even if the drone’s EC2 instance is temporarily stopped or restarting — pending runs are queued and delivered automatically when the drone comes back online. Schedule management (create, edit, delete) is available from the dashboard’s Schedules Panel in the drone header and via the conversation stream (“Schedule a task to run daily at 9am”).

Customizing Schedules
You can modify schedules in Settings → Schedules. Each schedule entry has:
- Task description — what the drone does when triggered
- Cron expression — standard 5-field cron (minute, hour, day-of-month, month, day-of-week)
- Enable/disable toggle — pause individual schedules without deleting them
