Scheduler
Create a job in plain language, test it, then inspect runs and approvals.
Open Scheduler. Describe the job once. Stedia runs it on a cadence and asks before it writes, unless you pre-authorized that tool.
Create a job
- Click to create a job.
- Basics: name and Task. The task is the prompt the agent runs each time.
- Schedule: pick a cadence.
- Fixed interval, minimum 5 minutes
- Daily or weekdays, with a time and timezone
- Custom cron, 5 fields.
L,W,#,?, and@macrosare rejected
- Timezone defaults from Settings.
- Approvals & safety: set the approval timeout (1 hour to 7 days) and, after a test, tick Pre-authorized tools.
Delivery is a chat thread. There is no control in the UI today to turn on email delivery.
Test before you save
Click Run test. Stedia runs the task once, denies every tool that would need approval, and reports what it reached for. Nothing is delivered or written.
The result lists tools that would need approval. Saving seeds pre-authorized grants from that test. Review the list. A write you did not mean to pre-authorize will run unattended.
If the task reads untrusted content and you pre-authorize writes, the form warns you.
Runs
Open a job, then Inspect a run. Switch List and Canvas.
Statuses you will see:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Queued | Waiting to start |
| Running | In progress |
| Waiting for approval | A step needs Approve or Deny |
| Succeeded | Finished |
| Failed | Error |
| Expired | Nobody approved before the timeout |
| Blocked | A required tool is missing |
| Skipped | The previous run is still going |
Approve or deny pending steps from the inspector. Open conversation jumps to the thread the run wrote to.
Pre-authorized tools run without a prompt. Other tools wait until timeout, then the run expires.
Fleet health
The list can mark jobs Failing or Past due. Pause or resume a job, or pause all failing jobs.
