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, write 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

From Advanced

Click Advanced in the navigation, then Tasks.
Click Create (or Create task if you have none yet).
Pick a task workflow. Mavic opens a new chat with the request ready.
Add your details, such as what to make, for whom and when, and send it.

From a chat

Open a chat and describe the task, for example: "Set up a recurring task to write 3 Instagram post ideas every Monday at 9am, written for @Eco-conscious Millennial."

Mavic asks for anything missing, such as your timezone. Confirm, and the task is saved.

Where tasks live

All tasks are under Advanced → Tasks. Use Search tasks to find one, and switch between grid and list view. Each task shows:

Its instructions
Its status: Active or paused
When it runs next

Advanced → Tasks list

Managing a task

Open a task's More options menu (…) to:

Edit: change the instructions, schedule or email notification
Pause: stop it for now without deleting it. Paused tasks show Resume instead.
Go to chat: open the chat the task belongs to
Delete: remove it permanently

You can also open a task from its chat, then click Edit or Pause in the drawer.

Email notifications

When a task runs, Mavic can email you the result. Turn Email notification on or off when you edit the task. Only the brand owner and the task owner receive the email.

Tips

Use @-tags in tasks. A task like "Write 3 captions for @Customer profile" always uses the current profile, even after you update it.
Pair tasks with your calendar. Ideas a task makes can go on your Calendar so you can turn them into posts.
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 earning their keep.
