Beyond answering messages, Token can do work on a schedule, without you asking each time. A routine is a standing instruction that runs on its own, like a teammate who reliably handles a recurring chore.

​
What they are good for

Morning summary

A digest of your day or your calendar, first thing.

Reminders

A nudge ahead of a meeting or a deadline.

Periodic digests

A roundup of what changed in a connected tool.

Any routine

Anything repeatable you would otherwise ask for every time.

​
How to set one up

The simplest way is to just ask Token in chat. Describe what you want and how often, and Token sets it up.
You can also create and manage routines from the Routines section of the dashboard, where you can see what is scheduled, edit a routine, or turn one off.

​
If a routine cannot reach a tool

If a routine runs but a tool it needs is not set up, Token does not fail silently. It posts a card in the channel showing the routine, when it next runs, and what is missing, with buttons to fix it:
Once the missing tool is set up, the card heals on its own and the routine goes back to running normally.

​
Good to know

  • They follow the same rules. A routine goes through the same approvals as anything else. It cannot do something in the background that it would not be allowed to do live.
  • Quiet when there is nothing to say. A well-set-up routine only messages you when it actually has something to report, so it does not become noise.
  • You stay in control. Change the timing, adjust the instruction, or cancel a routine at any time, either by asking Token or from the dashboard.
