# Scheduled tasks

> See every recurring agent run and workflow schedule in one place, then pause, resume, edit or delete them without losing past run receipts.

The **Scheduled** page (`/scheduled`) is the one place to see work Hive runs on a timer: your scheduled agent runs and the workflow schedules you can see. As the page puts it, **all runs keep their existing approval and budget rules**. A scheduled run doesn't get extra permissions because nobody is watching it.

Open it from **Scheduled** in the sidebar.

## Who can use it

You need the **Operator** role or above, and the Scheduled product must be turned on for you. Anyone else sees "Scheduled tasks require operator access and the Scheduled product." Admins control which products members can use in [workspace settings](/admin/workspace-settings).

## What the list shows

Each row is one scheduled task, with these columns:

| Column | What it shows |
| - | - |
| **Recurrence** | How often it runs, for example every weekday at 09:00. Tasks with no schedule show as **Manual**. |
| **Next run** | When it will next run, or **No next run**. |
| **Status** | **Active** or **Paused**, or **Manual** for a task with no schedule. |
| **Actions** | **Pause** or **Resume**, **Edit**, and delete. Workflow rows link to **Manage workflow** instead. |

Under a task's name, **Last dispatch** summarises what happened the last time it ran.

Use **Search tasks** and the **All tasks**, **Active** and **Paused** filter to find a task. **Refresh** reloads the list.

## Create a schedule

Schedules are created where the work is defined:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Schedule an agent" icon="robot" href="/agents/publish-and-evaluate">
    From the agent editor, once the agent is saved and deployed. Choose every day, weekdays, every week or every month, a timezone, and a prompt.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Schedule a workflow" icon="diagram-project" href="/workflows/schedules-and-forms">
    From the **Scheduled** tab on the Workflows page, using a deployed release.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

The **Schedule an agent** and **Workflow schedules** buttons on the Scheduled page take you straight there.

## Pause, resume, edit and delete

* **Pause** stops future runs. Work that's already running is not cancelled.
* **Resume** restarts the schedule from its next future occurrence. Hive doesn't catch up on runs missed while it was paused.
* **Edit** changes an agent schedule's timing, timezone or prompt. If the agent or schedule has changed underneath you, Hive asks you to refresh first.
* **Delete** stops all future runs. Already-running work and historical run receipts are kept.

<Note>
  An agent schedule pins the revision it was created with. If you deploy a new revision of the agent, delete the old schedule and create a new one so it runs the latest version.
</Note>

## Scheduled runs and safety

A scheduled run is held to the same rules as a run someone starts by hand:

* Actions go through the [approval and policy gate](/approvals/review-and-approve). Anything that needs approval waits for a person.
* Run budgets and seat credits still apply. Workflow runs count toward your plan's run allowance (see [Billing and plans](/admin/billing-and-plans)).
* The [kill switch](/admin/safety-and-control) halts scheduled actions along with everything else.
* Every completed action leaves a receipt in the [audit log](/approvals/audit-log).

## Ideas for scheduled work

| Schedule | Example |
| - | - |
| Every weekday at 08:30 | An agent that summarises overnight client emails that need a reply. |
| Every Monday at 09:00 | The **Renewal Scout** workflow drafting notes for upcoming HubSpot renewals. |
| Every day at 06:00 | The **Fee Reminder** workflow finding overdue Xero invoices and drafting reminders. |
| Every hour | The **Ticket Triage** workflow tagging new Zendesk tickets and flagging urgent ones. |
