Timely Jobs

​

Overview

Timely Jobs enable the automated execution of workflows without manual intervention. By scheduling a job, you can ensure that critical business processes, such as daily data syncing, weekly reporting, or monthly auditing run exactly when needed.

Scheduling Options

When creating a Timely Job, you can choose between a single execution or a recurring cycle.

​

1. One-Time Job

Ideal for specific, non-repeating tasks like a system migration or a scheduled month-end report.

• Requirements: * Scheduled Date: The specific calendar day for the execution.
  • Hour of Run: The exact time the workflow should trigger.

​

2. Repeating Job

Used for continuous operations. The platform supports four frequencies:

Workflow Configuration & Slots Pre-feeding

Once the schedule is defined, the next step involves connecting the job to your logic.

​

Selecting a Workflow

You must choose an active workflow from your library. The system will automatically detect and display all Slots (variables) defined within that workflow.

​

Pre-feeding Slot Values

Since Timely Jobs run autonomously, you must “pre-feed” all required data into the slots:

• Static Values: Provide the fixed strings, integers, or lists required for the agents to operate.
• Contextual Data: Ensure any file references or IDs are valid at the time of execution.

Execution Integrity

Because Timely Jobs are automated and do not have a “Human-in-the-Loop” by default during the trigger phase, data integrity is critical. Common causes for failed Timely Jobs:

• A slot expected an Int but received a String.
• A required File slot was left empty.
• The Workflow logic was changed, but the Timely Job configuration was not updated to match the new slots.
