In Kolmena, a job tells an agent to run a task on a schedule and deliver the result to a chat or channel. You can set up one-time or repeating jobs, change them later, and review every run. This page shows you how to create a job, pick a schedule, manage its state, and resume it after an automatic stop. ## Before you begin Make sure the agent you want to schedule is [created and published](/agents/create-an-agent). Jobs persist across all published versions of that agent, so updates to the agent do not break existing schedules. You can have up to 25 active or paused jobs at a time. If you reach the limit, delete an old job before adding a new one. ## Create a new job Go to the agent you want to schedule, then select **Configure** and open the **Jobs** tab. Click **New Job**. Enter a **Name** and describe the **Task** in plain language so the agent knows what to do each run. Choose **Schedule** as the trigger type. You can also trigger jobs from connected apps when events occur. Select a frequency: **One Time**, **Hourly**, **Daily**, **Weekly**, **Monthly**, or **Custom**. * For hourly jobs, you can set a time window and specific minutes past the hour. * For daily jobs, you can exclude specific days. * The shortest interval allowed is **15 minutes**. Decide where results go: * **New chat for this job** — creates a dedicated chat thread. * **An existing chat** — sends results into a chat you already have with the agent. * **Job runs only** — stores results without sending them to a chat. Pick whether the agent should produce **a reply in the chat** or **a file, dashboard, or app artifact**. If you choose an artifact, each run must create it; a run without it counts as failed. Click **Add Job**. You will see a confirmation that the job was added, and the agent starts if needed. ## Edit, pause, or resume a job You can change a job after it is created. Open the **Jobs** panel, find the job, and click it to edit the name, task, schedule, or destination. Click the toggle to pause or resume a job. Paused jobs keep their history but do not run until you turn them back on. If a job fails five runs in a row, it automatically stops and shows **Needs attention**. Fix the cause (for example, reconnect an app or choose a valid destination), then click **Resume** to start it again. ## Run a job on demand To test a schedule or rerun a task immediately, click **Run now** on an active job whose agent is started. The run appears in the job's history right away. ## View run history Click **View runs** on any job to open its history. You can see: | Field | What it shows | | - | - | | Status | Completed, Failed, Running, Cancelled, or Skipped | | Trigger | Scheduled or started by an agent | | Duration | How long the run took | | Usage | Model calls and tokens consumed | | Delivered | Whether the result reached its destination | Select a run to read the agent's transcript and the messages it produced. If the run failed, the error explains why (for example, destination unavailable, agent stopped, or budget exhausted). ## Delete a job Open the job menu and choose **Delete**. The job and its run history are removed. Any chat created for the job stays in your conversation list. ## Next steps Learn how jobs, schedules, and triggers work. Connect apps for event triggers.
