AI Assistance with Custom Scheduling

Custom scheduling lets you go beyond standard daily, weekly, or monthly deliveries by defining exactly when something should run using a cron expression. Historically, this required knowing cron syntax, which made custom schedules harder to use and easy to get wrong.

Now, you can simply describe the schedule you want in plain language — and the AI will generate a valid cron string for you automatically.

Where you’ll find this

Open a dashboard with
Deliveries & Alerts
enabled.
Go to
Deliveries & Alerts
.
Under the
Schedule
tab, select Custom.
In the
Cron string
field, hover over the ✨ icon (tooltip: “
Use AI to help write a valid cron string
”).
Click the icon to open a text box.
Describe the schedule you want (for example, “Every weekday at 9am” or “Every hour”).
Click
Generate
— the cron string is created for you.

Important limitation:

The most frequent schedule supported is once per hour. More frequent intervals (for example, every 5 minutes) are not supported, even when using AI.

What this means

You no longer need to understand or manually write cron expressions.
You can define flexible, precise schedules using natural language.
The generated cron string is still visible and editable if you’d like to review or fine-tune it.

Why this matters

Makes advanced scheduling accessible without specialized technical knowledge.
Reduces setup errors and trial-and-error when creating custom schedules.
Speeds up how quickly you can operationalize recurring deliveries and alerts.
