7.1 Scheduled Task Setup

7.1.1 What are Scheduled Tasks

Definition: Scheduled tasks are tasks that execute automatically at a specified time, without human intervention.

OpenClaw's Unique Advantages:

  • Heartbeat Mechanism: Can proactively initiate conversations
  • Intelligent Scheduling: Automatically manages task execution
  • Flexible Configuration: Supports various time modes
  • Reliable Execution: Automatic retry on failure

A comparison of OpenClaw's automation capabilities with other AI tools is shown in Table 7-1.

7.1.2 Heartbeat Mechanism Principle

OpenClaw's Heartbeat Mechanism:

┌─────────────┐
│  OpenClaw   │
│   Daemon Process   │
└──────┬──────┘

       ├─ Checks once per minute

A Cron expression is a time expression used to precisely control task execution times.

Basic Format:

Minute Hour Day-of-Month Month Day-of-Week

* * * * *
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ │ │ └─ Day-of-Week (0-7, both 0 and 7 represent Sunday)
│ │ │ └─── Month (1-12)
│ │ └───── Day-of-Month (1-31)
│ └─────── Hour (0-23)
└───────── Minute (0-59)

Common Examples:

# Every day at 8 AM
0 8 * * *

# Every Monday at 10 AM
0 10 * * 1

# On the 1st of every month at 9 AM
0 9 1 * *

# Every day at 12 PM and 6 PM
0 12,18 * * *

# Execute once every hour
0 * * * *

# Execute once every 30 minutes
*/30 * * * *

# Weekdays at 9 AM
0 9 * * 1-5

# Weekends at 10 AM
0 10 * * 0,6
