Create workers, triggers, and recurring schedules
Automate prospecting with manual, scheduled, or trigger-based workers tied to a target profile.
When to use this
Use a worker when the same profile should run repeatedly, keep reusable manual settings, or start from a trigger.
Requirements and availability
- Free includes 0 customer-created recurring schedules; Grow includes 2 and Scale includes 10 before add-ons. An eligible Free account may still show a temporary system-managed Starter schedule for its automatic first batch.
- A worker needs a saved profile.
- Name and time zone accept at most 80 characters; run size is 1–50.
- Trigger retries should reuse the same Idempotency-Key for the same intended run.
How to do it
- Open Agent.
- Select New worker or edit an existing one.
- Choose Manual, Scheduled, or Trigger and a target profile.
- For Scheduled, choose Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly, local time, time zone, and run size.
- For Monthly, choose day 1–31; shorter months use their final day.
- Save and enable the worker when future runs should start.

What happens next
Scheduled workers use their selected time zone. Paused workers keep settings and create no new scheduled runs.
