Time Based Triggers

Triggers allow you to automate your AI Agent’s tasks on a Daily or Weekly schedule. This ensures that Agents run at specified times without manual intervention.

• Any user can create a Trigger for a Public or Chat-only Agent.
• No limit exists on the number of Triggers that can be set up.
• Other users will see both the Trigger setup and the output of that Trigger in the Conversation History.

Configuring a Time-Based Trigger

Each Trigger has multiple settings that can be customized:

• Schedule
  • Daily – The Agent runs its task every day at the specified time.
  • Weekly – The Agent runs on one or multiple selected days per week at the specified time.
  • Timezone – The schedule follows the timezone set in your NinjaCat Organization Settings.
• Status
  • On – The Trigger is active and runs according to the schedule.
  • Paused – The Trigger is inactive but can be re-enabled later.
• Message (Trigger Command)
  The message field is what gets sent to the Agent at the scheduled time, instructing it to execute its task.
  
  
  Example Messages:
  • “Do your thing, but only for these two accounts: Athleta and Nike.”
  • “Do your thing, but only for accounts owned by Julie Brown.”
  • (Default message if left blank: “Go!” — The Agent will follow its configured prompt as-is.)

• Notifications (Optional)
  Enable this feature if you would like an email notification to be sent to one or more recipients, notifying them that the Agent has finished its task.

Viewing Trigger Outputs

Once a Time-Based Trigger has executed, its Triggered Run will appear in the Agent’s Conversation History, including the date and time it ran. The Conversation History can be filtered to show only Triggered Runs, only your Conversations or All. Upon clicking into a Triggered Run, the output of that run will appear in the conversation space to be reviewed.

If Notifications have been enabled, then an email is sent to those recipients notifying them that the Agent has finished its task. That email notification contains a button that directs the user back to the output in the Conversation History to review.
