Overview
You can schedule agent swarms to run at a specific cadence — daily, weekly, or custom schedules. This means recurring tasks do not require manual re-triggering. The agent swarm runs on schedule, produces updated deliverables on the canvas, and you come back to fresh results without having to prompt anything. Scheduled runs turn Spine from a one-shot project tool into a continuous intelligence platform.Use Cases
- Daily competitive monitoring — Track competitor pricing, news, and product changes automatically
- Weekly market digests — Synthesize the latest developments in a sector every week
- Automated pipeline tracking — Refresh a clinical trial tracker or deal pipeline on a recurring basis
- Recurring SEO audits — Run full SEO analysis on a schedule to track changes over time
- Regular financial data pulls — Pull and analyze financial data on a set cadence
- Any repeating workflow — Any workflow where the same research or analysis needs to happen on a repeating basis
How It Works
- Build your workflow — Create a canvas with the blocks and agent tasks you want to run
- Set a schedule — Choose daily, weekly, or a custom cadence
- Agents run automatically — At the scheduled time, the agent swarm executes the full workflow
- Review fresh results — Come back to updated deliverables on your canvas without prompting anything
Best Practices
- Use Inputs blocks for parameters — Set up date ranges, keywords, accounts, or other variables as Inputs so one scheduled workflow works across many runs
- Connect to Integrations — Combine scheduled runs with Integrations to automatically push results into Slack, Google Drive, Notion, or other tools your team uses
- Start with a manual run — Run the workflow manually first to verify it produces the output you want before scheduling it
- Layer deliverables — A single scheduled run can produce research, tables, documents, and slide decks — all refreshed automatically
