  • Example: "Analyze today's pull requests and generate a summary report"

Cron Expression Examples​

# Every day at 9:00 AM
0 9 * * *

# Every weekday at 6:00 PM
0 18 * * MON-FRI

# Every hour during business hours (9-5, weekdays)
0 9-17 * * MON-FRI

# Every 15 minutes
*/15 * * * *

How Starting Prompts Work​

  • When the CRON schedule triggers, the workflow begins with your specified starting prompt
  • The prompt provides context and initial instructions to the workflow
  • If no starting prompt is provided, the workflow will start with its default configuration
  • Starting prompts enhance automation accuracy and provide better task context
