Using the cadence contract
A key feature of bulk scheduling is the cadence contract, which allows you to fine-tune how and when tasks are distributed. This ensures that your automated workflows align perfectly with your team's schedule and work patterns.
Key components:
- Timezone:Select your preferred timezone to ensure tasks are scheduled according to your local time, for example: Australia - Sydney.
- Work Days:Specify which days of the week tasks should be scheduled.
- Work Hours:Set the time range during which tasks should be executed. You also have the option to select "All day" for 24/7 task execution.
- Task Distribution:Define the number of tasks to be sent per interval. For example, set a specific number of tasks per day. The actual number of tasks your agent can execute may vary due to factors like conflicting contract conditions and rate limiting.
- Override Mode:This give you the option to run all created tasks in override mode, which can be useful for testing or when you need to maintain specific inputs/outputs across all tasks.
Best practices for cadence contract
Align with team availability
Set work days and hours that match your team's actual working schedule to ensure timely handling of task outputs.
Consider task complexity
Adjust the number of tasks per interval based on the complexity of each task and your team's capacity.
Start conservative
Begin with a lower number of tasks per interval and gradually increase as you assess your team's capacity and the agent's performance.
In summary
Once you’ve configured the cadence contract, hit ‘Schedule’.
You can check which bulk schedules you have set up by navigating to the three dots in the top right corner of your agent chat interface and selecting “Bulk schedules”.
