Cron

stable

Schedule Pi to do things on a recurring basis. Daily standups, weekly reviews, hourly checks.

Cron is the channel that times itself. Define a cron expression, give it a prompt, point the output at a real channel.

Setup

# ~/.openclaw/bindings/morning-brief.yaml
trigger:
  cron: "0 7 * * *"
prompt: |
  Summarise overnight GitHub activity for neullabs/openclawos.
  Pull weather for Berlin. Add today's calendar from Google.
output:
  channel: imessage
  to: "+49 ..."

Use cases

  • Morning brief (calendar + weather + headlines on iMessage)
  • Weekly metric reports
  • Backup verification (“Pi, check that the last backup succeeded”)
  • Reminder loops

Run Cron through your own Pi.

Install openclawOS, pair this channel, message your agent. The whole loop is under five minutes.
