Work in Aside
Use routines
Create recurring work and use routine suggestions.
Routines let Aside run recurring work without starting each task by hand.
Routine types
| Type | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Cron routine | Starts a new task on a schedule. |
| Heartbeat routine | Wakes an existing chat and continues it. |
Use a cron routine for standalone repeat work, such as a weekly summary. Use a heartbeat routine when the same chat should continue later with new context.
Aside skips overlapping routine runs and pauses routines when their target chat is unavailable.
