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:

Open Chats.
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."
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.
