What are scheduled prompts?
Scheduled prompts let you set a question to run automatically on a recurring basis. Each time the prompt runs, a fresh report appears in your Ask Avoma feed and you receive a notification when it’s ready.
This is useful for any question you find yourself asking repeatedly like weekly pipeline health, daily competitive mentions, recurring customer feedback digests, or summaries for leadership that no one has to remember to run.

Where to find scheduled prompts
- Ask Avoma left panel — the 'Scheduled' section at the top of the panel lists all your active scheduled prompts. Click any entry to open its latest report.
- Prompt Library — under Scheduled for you, you’ll see all prompts currently running on a schedule for you when you click on 'Scheduled for you' link.
-
Credit Balance — Next to the Scheduled header in the left panel, you’ll also see a credit balance indicator. Click the green icon to view your organization’s remaining monthly credits for scheduled prompts and the date and time they reset.
Note: Credits are shared across your organization and apply to scheduled prompts only. Regular Ask Avoma conversations do not consume scheduled prompt credits.

How to create a scheduled prompt
You can create a scheduled prompt from the Scheduled section in the Ask Avoma panel, or from inside the Prompt Library.
From the Scheduled section
- Open Global Ask Avoma from the left-hand navigation.
- Click + New next to the Scheduled header in the left panel. The Schedule a prompt modal opens.
- Enter your question in the Prompt field.
- (Optional) Click Refine to use AI to improve or clarify the prompt before saving.
- Under Who can use this prompt?, choose:
- Only me — the prompt is private to you.
- Anyone in my organization — the prompt is visible to your whole organization.
- (Optional) Add the prompt to a collection by selecting one from the Add to a collection dropdown, or click + New collection to create one.

- Click the Schedule tab at the top of the modal.
- Turn on the Schedule this prompt to run at a regular frequency toggle.

- (Optional) Under Also send generated reports to, select any delivery channels: Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Email.
- Click Create.

Note: Collections are visible to everyone in your organization and can include both private and organization-level prompts. Any private prompt you add to a collection remains visible only to you.
Warning: All schedule preferences — cadence, day, time, and delivery channels — are permanently removed if you turn off the Schedule toggle. They cannot be recovered and must be reconfigured from scratch if you turn the toggle back on.
From the Prompt Library
- Open the Prompt Library from the chat input or from Settings → Prompt Library.
- Open an existing prompt or create a new one.
- Turn on the Schedule this prompt to run at a regular frequency toggle.
- Set your cadence, day, time, and any delivery channels.
- Click Create (or Save if editing an existing prompt).
Reading and using scheduled reports
Each time a scheduled prompt runs, a new report appears in the Scheduled section of the left panel with a notification badge.
- Click the report to open it as a chat thread.
- Ask follow-up questions directly in the thread to explore any finding further.
- If you set up delivery to Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email, the report is also sent to those channels at the scheduled time.
Tip: Scheduled reports work best for questions that benefit from consistency over time — running the same question weekly gives you a comparable view across periods.
