# Schedule a routine

Schedule a recurring prompt for an agent or a reminder for yourself.

A routine runs a prompt on a schedule or reminds you at a chosen time. Open the routines view to create, pause, review, or edit routines.

## Create a routine

1. Open **Routines** from the toolbar or palette, or choose **Schedule a routine…** from an agent node’s menu.
2. Choose **+** or **New routine…**.
3. Set the target, prompt or reminder, and schedule.
4. Review the routine under **Scheduled**. Use its row menu to **Run now**, **Edit**, or **Delete**.
5. Pause a routine from its row when you want to stop scheduled runs temporarily.

> **Note:** Repeating intervals must be at least 30 seconds. Reminder routines use notifications; prompt routines need a running agent.

> **Limit:** Routines do not keep the computer awake for a scheduled run.
