Schedules for Managed Deep Agents: Cron jobs, prompts, and Slack delivery
This video demonstrates how to implement automated, recurring tasks using Schedules for Managed Deep Agents. By configuring cron jobs, agents can run autonomously to generate and deliver structured reports (e.g., a weekly Salesforce pipeline summary) to external channels like Slack, without manual intervention. The process involves defining the schedule syntax, deploying the agent to LangSmith, and ensuring the agent has access to necessary tools and context.
