Schedules, what BOBO can run on its own

What you can ask BOBO to do on a schedule, how often, what it will refuse, why a run was skipped, and where the result goes.

A schedule tells BOBO to do something later, once or on repeat: send you a weekly sales report, remind you to review draft products, check low stock every morning, or add a tag to a category every Friday. You create one by asking in the AI assistant, for example "every Monday at 9 prepare my weekly sales summary". BOBO shows you what it will schedule and when it will first run, and nothing is saved until you approve.

You manage schedules in BOBO's settings page: click BOBO's name at the top of the AI panel, then Schedules.

How often can a schedule run

At most once an hour. Every run is a full AI turn that uses AI credits, so BOBO refuses "every minute" and "every 5 minutes". If you ask for those, BOBO tells you so and offers an hourly check, a daily check, or asking it on demand ("any new orders?") instead.

A store can have up to 25 schedules. To add another, pause or delete one first.

Which repeat patterns work

These work: once at a date and time, every day, every weekday, specific days of the week, twice a day, on a day of the month, the last day of every month, and every 3 months.

"Weekdays" follows your wording. In English, "every weekday" means Monday to Friday. In Hebrew, the phrase for "working days" means Sunday to Thursday.

Repeat patterns that do not work

BOBO will say so instead of quietly picking something else:

Every other week, or every 3 weeks.
Every other month.
The first, second or last Monday of the month (any weekday of the month).
A date range or "except holidays".

For these, BOBO offers the closest exact options: weekly on a fixed day, or a reminder for each specific date you give it.

What a schedule will not do

A scheduled run happens while you are not there, so it cannot do anything that needs your "yes" at that moment. BOBO will refuse to schedule these and offer a reminder instead:

Delete anything, such as "delete all draft products every night".
Cancel orders.
Send emails to your customers, including discount codes by email.
Spend money, such as ads or paid AI image generation.

A scheduled run can read your data and report on it, and it can make ordinary reversible changes such as adding a tag or changing a status.

BOBO also cannot run a schedule when something happens ("when a product sells out"). It offers a periodic check instead, for example every hour, and says that it is a check and not an instant alert.

Where does the result go

Every run gets its own conversation in your AI assistant history, with a title that starts with [Scheduled]. The report, or the reason a run did not work, is always saved there, whatever you choose below.

Two things tell you it is there:

A notification in the bell at the top of the dashboard. Click it and the conversation opens. If the same schedule runs again before you open the bell, the new run replaces the old item, so an hourly check does not fill it.
An email, if you turn it on. It goes to the email address of your own Brainerce account, never to your customers.

While the AI assistant is open, the clock icon in its header pulses during a run and a message appears when it ends, with a button that opens the result.

Choose how you hear about it

Open BOBO's settings page, then Schedules, and use the How to tell you card:

Bell notification is on by default.
Email is off by default.
Which runs: every run, or only when something did not work. A run that fails or is skipped is always told to you, on every channel you turned on.

The choice is yours alone. Another person on your team picks their own.

Email limits. A schedule that repeats every hour sends at most one email a day, and a schedule that keeps failing at most one every 6 hours. A one-time schedule always sends. Only the person who created the schedule gets its email, and only while they still have access to the store.

What does not exist: there is no mobile push, no SMS and no WhatsApp message for a finished run.

Pause, resume, run now and delete

Pause stops the schedule and keeps it. Resume starts it again.
Run now runs it once immediately. It is not available while the schedule is paused.
Edit time changes when it runs.
Delete removes the schedule for good. It cannot be resumed. It asks "Delete this schedule?" first, and past runs stay in the activity log.

The list groups your schedules as Active (N), Paused (N) and Recently completed (N), with a Recent runs list. Each shows its repeat pattern in words (for example "Every day at 09:00" or "On the last day of every month at 09:00"), when it runs next (Next: tomorrow at 09:00) and the store clock it follows. A run is marked Completed, Failed or Outcome unknown.

Why a run shows as failed or skipped

The Schedules section shows the reason in plain words, on the schedule itself and in the conversation of that run. You also get it in the bell, and by email if you turned email on:

No AI credits left. The run was skipped and nothing ran. Runs resume when your credits renew or you add more. See AI credits.
The run finished without changing anything in the store. For a schedule that is meant to change something (add a tag, change a price), this means it did not work.
The run finished without producing a report. For a report or reminder, BOBO did not write one.
The run finished, but the result could not be saved to a conversation. Run it again with Run now.
The AI credits could not be checked. The run was skipped and will try again at the next scheduled time.
The scheduled agent was not available. The run did not happen.
The store is suspended. The run did not happen because the store is suspended.
Internal error. The action was not performed. Nothing was changed. Run it again with Run now, and email [email protected] if it keeps happening.

A schedule that only reports or reminds is counted as successful when BOBO wrote its answer. It does not need to change anything.
