# Scheduler

The Scheduler connector lets the agent create, list, toggle, and delete recurring automated tasks — directly from a Slack conversation or any connected MCP client.

## What It Enables

| Tool                    | Capability    | Description                                                   |
| ----------------------- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `create_scheduled_task` | `write`       | Create a new recurring task with a cron schedule and prompt   |
| `list_scheduled_tasks`  | `read`        | List all scheduled tasks, optionally filtered to enabled ones |
| `toggle_scheduled_task` | `write`       | Enable or disable a scheduled task                            |
| `delete_scheduled_task` | `destructive` | Permanently delete a scheduled task                           |

## Setup

**No external API key required.** The Scheduler connector is built into Notara and operates against your workspace's own automations. There is nothing to connect or credential — it is available to the agent automatically.

Tasks created via the agent appear in **Automations** in the dashboard, where you can also manage them directly. Enabling a task in the dashboard is the explicit admin authorization step; the agent can create tasks in draft state but the final activation is yours.

Note: `delete_scheduled_task` has `destructive` capability, which triggers an in-channel confirmation prompt before the agent proceeds.

## Example Prompts

> "Set up a weekly Monday morning digest at 9am ET that summarizes open Linear issues in the engineering channel."

> "What recurring tasks do we have running right now?"

> "Pause the Friday standup reminder."

> "Delete the daily metrics summary task."

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://notara.gitbook.io/notara-docs/connectors/scheduler.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
