Scheduled tasks and briefings
Ask Lahuta AI to do something later or on a repeat, or to brief you each morning on what needs your attention.
Lahuta AI, the assistant in your dashboard and in Slack, can do work for you later. Ask it to remind you about a follow-up, send you a weekly summary, or brief you every morning on what needs your attention. Each run works as you, in the organization you asked from, with the same access your role gives you.
Schedule a task
Open Lahuta AI in your dashboard, or mention Lahuta in Slack.
Say what to do and when, in your own words:
Every Monday at 9, send me a summary of new leads from the last week.
Remind me Friday at 3 to follow up with Dana Lee about the commission.
Lahuta AI confirms the timing back to you in your timezone, such as "Mondays at 9:00 AM Eastern". Check it, and correct it in the same chat if it's wrong.
Lahuta AI uses the timezone of your browser in the dashboard, and the one in your Slack profile in Slack. When Slack doesn't share one, it uses US Eastern and says so.
Get a daily briefing
Ask for one the same way:
Brief me every morning at 8.
A briefing is a short list, five lines at most, of what needs you today: classes and bookings on the calendar, unread messages in the inbox, reminders that are due, and new orders or registrations since the last one. Each line links to where you can act on it. On a quiet day, it sends nothing.
Where runs show up
A run posts back where you asked for it.
| Where you asked | Where each run goes |
|---|---|
| The dashboard | A new chat in Lahuta AI, marked Scheduled and named after the task. Notifications tells you it's there. |
| A direct message | A new thread in your direct messages with Lahuta. |
| A Slack channel | A new thread in that channel, starting with the task's name. |
You can reply to a run to keep going. Runs in the dashboard don't email you; to get one, turn on email for Scheduled tasks and briefings under Lahuta AI in your notification settings.
What a run won't do on its own
A run happens while you're away, so nobody is there to approve anything. When a task would send, delete or charge something, the run tells you what it would do instead of doing it. Start a new chat, or mention Lahuta in a new Slack message, to ask for it there, where Lahuta AI can ask you first.
Lahuta AI asks for your go-ahead before it sets up a schedule, changes its timing or task, resumes it, or runs it right away, and shows what will run, when, and where it posts. Pausing and deleting don't ask.
Limits
- A task runs at most once an hour, and a briefing at most twice a day. A reminder at one time, or in a few minutes, is fine.
- You can have up to 25 tasks and 3 briefings running at once. Pause or delete one to make room.
See, change or stop what's scheduled
Ask in the dashboard or a direct message with Lahuta. In a Slack channel, Lahuta AI keeps your schedules to itself.
- "What's scheduled?" lists your tasks and briefings, wherever you made them. Only yours show.
- "Move my Monday summary to 8:30" changes the timing.
- "Pause my morning briefing" and "Resume my morning briefing" stop and restart it.
- "Stop the Friday reminder" deletes it.
- "Run my briefing now" runs it once, right away.
A schedule pauses itself when you're no longer a member of the organization it works in, or once you disconnect the Slack account you made it from.
