Recurring Tasks

A recurring task is any task that runs automatically on a schedule. You describe what you want done, pick how often it should run, and Demi takes care of the rest. Each time the task fires, Demi creates a fresh execution with the latest data from your connected services.

This is one of the most powerful features in Demi. Instead of remembering to check your calendar every morning or pull your project status every Friday, Demi does it for you and delivers the results straight to your inbox or your wrist.

1. 1

   Describe what you want done

   Write a clear description of the task, just like you would for a one-time request. Be specific about which services to use and what the output should look like.

2. 2

   Set the schedule

   Choose how often the task runs -- daily, weekdays only, weekly, or on specific days. Pick the time of day you want it to execute.

3. 3

   Let Demi handle the rest

   Once saved, Demi runs the task automatically at the scheduled time. You will receive the results via email, notification, or both, depending on your preferences.

The recurring tasks page shows all your scheduled automations in one place. For each task, you can see:

• Next run time -- when the task will fire next
• Last execution -- the result and status of the most recent run
• Firing indicator -- a visual pulse that shows when a task is actively executing right now

Need to pause a recurring task? Toggle it off and it stops running until you turn it back on. Your schedule and settings are preserved -- nothing is lost.

You don't have to wait for the next scheduled run. Tap any recurring task to trigger it immediately. This is handy when you need the latest data right now instead of waiting for the next scheduled execution. The on-demand run does not affect the regular schedule -- your next automatic run still fires at the usual time.

Demi analyzes your connected integrations and suggests recurring tasks that might be useful. If you have Gmail and Google Calendar connected, Demi might suggest a daily morning briefing. If you use Asana, it might recommend a weekly task digest. These suggestions appear on the recurring tasks page and can be activated with a single tap.
