# Scheduled Tasks

Takumi can run the same task on a recurring schedule. This is useful for automating routine security checks, reports, and monitoring tasks.

To set up tasks from Slack, see [Slack Channel Settings](/docs/t/assessment/features/chat-interface/slack-configs.md). Tasks set up via Slack do not appear in the Shisho Cloud byGMO web console.

## Setting up a Task

### From the Chat Interface

Click the calendar icon in the chat input area.

![Open the task creation dialog](/docs/_md-assets/4def1d0604-takumi-web-tasks-01.png)

Fill in the following fields in the dialog:

- **Title**: A descriptive name for the task
- **Instructions**: What you want Takumi to do
- **Schedule**: Choose a one-time or a recurring schedule
- **Email Notification**: Who should receive the result after the task runs

### Schedule Types

Schedules come in two flavors:

- **One-time task**: Runs once at a specific date and time
- **Recurring task**: Runs on a daily / weekly / monthly preset or a custom cron expression (e.g., `9 30 * */2 *` for 9:30 AM every two days)

:::warning
When scheduling a task, specifying a time before or equal to the submission time may cause the task to not be submitted properly.

## Managing Your Tasks

:::note
You cannot change a task's scheduling type (one-time / recurring) after creation. Create a new task and delete the old one instead.

1. Click the `menu` (`...`) button to see available actions
2. Select `Edit` to modify the task details in a dialog
3. Select `Delete` to remove the task

## Notification Targets

Task results can be delivered to:

- **Group**: Sent to a notification group (useful for team-wide reports)

## Credit Consumption {#credits}

When the work a scheduled task asks Takumi to perform involves AI inference, credits are consumed each time the task runs. Consumption varies with what you actually ask Takumi to do.
