2. Introduction to OpenClaw Scheduled Tasks

• Scheduled Tasks are OpenClaw's intelligent scheduling function. Users can create scheduled tasks to have the robot automatically perform specific operations at a specified time or interval

4. Demo Cases

[!NOTE]

• Any interaction method can be used; here, the web interface interaction is used as an example

• The simplest way is to directly give OpenClaw an instruction, for example: create a scheduled task: every five minutes, move forward 0.5 meters, then observe the environment

5. Viewing and Managing Scheduled Tasks

• Open WebChat, click Scheduled Tasks to view the list of all created scheduled tasks

• In the scheduled task list, the following management operations are supported:

  • Enable/Disable: Control whether the scheduled task takes effect with a switch; once disabled, the task will no longer run on schedule
  • Run now: Manually trigger a scheduled task once to quickly verify whether the task works properly
  • Delete: Delete scheduled tasks that are no longer needed

• Click a scheduled task to view and edit its details, including the task description and execution plan

• In Run History, you can see the execution records of each scheduled task trigger, including execution time, execution status, and run result
