# Recurring Tasks

# Recurring tasks

A task is a scheduled, recurring instruction to Mavic. You set it up once and Mavic runs it on the schedule you choose — daily, weekly, or any custom cadence.

Common uses:

* *"Every Monday at 9am, generate three Instagram post ideas about sustainability."*
* *"Every Friday afternoon, summarize my brand's social performance for the week."*
* *"On the 1st of every month, draft a newsletter from this month's top blog posts."*

## How to create a task

The fastest way is from the chat:

1. Open **Chats**.
2. Type a prompt that starts with task-creation language — for example: *"Set up a recurring task to generate 3 Instagram post ideas every Monday at 9am, written for* *`@Eco-conscious Millennial`*_."_
3. Press **Send**.

Mavic recognises this as a task creation request and asks for any missing details (timezone, email notification preference). Confirm and the task is saved.

## Where tasks live

All tasks are stored under **Advanced → Tasks**. You'll see:

* The task name (auto-generated from the prompt; you can rename it)
* Schedule (e.g. *"Every Monday at 9am SGT"*)
* Status (active or paused)
* Last run, next run

## Managing a task

From the action menu on any task you can:

* **Edit** — change the instructions, timezone, schedule, or email notification setting
* **Pause** — stop temporarily without deleting
* **Go to chat** — jump to the chat where the task was created
* **Delete** — remove permanently

You can also edit a task directly from the chat where you created it — open the action menu next to the task message.

## Email notifications

When a task runs, Mavic can email you the result. Toggle email notifications on or off in the task's edit screen.

## Tips

* **Use** **`@`**__-tags inside tasks.__ A task like *"Generate 3 captions for* *`@Customer profile`*_"_ always uses the current Customer profile — even if you update it later.
* **Pair tasks with the planner.** A task that generates ideas every Monday can feed straight into the planner if you also automate "add to planner."
* **Don't over-schedule.** Three to five active tasks is plenty for most small-business marketers.
* **Review and prune.** Once a quarter, look at your tasks and delete any that aren't producing value.
