Create tickets or run agent prompts daily, weekly, or on a custom cadence.

## Action types

Each recurring action is one of two types:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Create Ticket">
    Deterministic ticket creation with pre-configured fields. Every time the schedule fires, a new ticket is added to the project with the title, description, status, priority, type, assignees, and tags you specify.

    Useful for repeatable tasks your team does on a cadence: weekly audits, recurring standups, monthly reviews.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Agent Prompt">
    A freeform prompt that the agent executes at the scheduled time. It has full access to your project context: it can search tickets, create or update them, leave comments, and [more](/agent).

    Useful for tasks that require reasoning: following up on blocked tickets, generating summary reports, or triaging unassigned work.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Set-up

Click the **Gear** icon in the header of your **Project Board** to access **Project Settings**, select the **Configure** tab, then select **Recurring Actions**.

## Managing automations

Each rule has a toggle to enable or disable it, a play button to trigger it immediately, and edit/delete controls. The **Logs** tab shows a full history of every run (status, timing, and for agent prompts, the full tool call chain and response).

Only project admins can create or modify automations. All members can view them.
