Automations

Work Skarmy does for you on a schedule — a morning note, an inbox catch-up, a weekly recap — with every result waiting for you, and nothing sent on its own.

Automations are work Skarmy does for you on a schedule. Tell it once, pick a schedule, and it checks in when something needs you.

Before you start

You need an account — guests can look at the page but not create automations. The number you can have running at once depends on plan: 2 on Free, 10 on paid plans, per company.

Create one

Two doors, same result:

• On the Automations page — select New automation, describe the job, pick a schedule.
• By asking the coach — say every morning, tell me what needs me first and the coach creates it for you.

Starting points

Four templates cover the common jobs:

Template	What it does	Default schedule
Morning note	A short note each morning on what needs you first.	Every day at 8:00 AM
Inbox catch-up	Checks the company inbox and drafts replies for your okay.	Every day at 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM
Weekly recap	What moved this week, and what to focus on next.	Every Friday at 4:00 PM
Competitor watch	A weekly look at what similar companies are doing.	Every Monday at 9:00 AM

Schedules

An automation can run hourly (every 1–12 hours), daily, weekly, monthly (on days 1–28), or once — at most 4 times a day. Times follow your timezone’s wall clock.

Notify or quiet

Each automation is either notify — every result surfaces on your Home dashboard — or quiet — results wait in the run history. Failures surface either way, so a broken automation never fails silently.

The one hard rule

Automations read your apps but never send or post from them on their own.

An automation can read your Gmail, your calendar, your Stripe — but if the job ends in something that should be sent, it puts the draft in the result for you to send with one look. The inbox catch-up drafts replies; you approve each one. See App permissions.

Manage them

The list shows each automation with its schedule and state — Paused, Paused after failing, Done, or its next run. Open one to:

• Run now — try it immediately.
• Pause / Resume.
• Edit the job or the schedule.
• Delete, with a confirmation.
• Read the full run history, each run expandable to its result.

Limits

Limit	Value
Active automations	2 on Free, 10 on paid plans, per company
Runs per automation	4 per day
Scheduled runs	60 per company per day
Manual Run now	10 per hour

Automation runs do not spend your build credits.

Verify

• Run now produces a result in the run history.
• A notify automation’s result appears on Home.
• Pausing stops the next scheduled run.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Paused after failing	Open the run history to see what went wrong, fix the job’s description or the app connection, then resume.
An automation “did nothing”	Check whether it is quiet — its results are in the run history, not on Home.
You expected it to send an email	By design it never sends. The draft is in the result — send it from the Inbox.
You cannot create another	You are at your plan’s limit. Pause or delete one, or upgrade.
