Task Scheduling, Price Alerts, and Monitoring
Auto runs recurring tasks in the background — price alerts, portfolio checks, market research, position monitoring, and custom analysis jobs. You create tasks by describing what you want monitored and how often, using natural language.
What Types of Tasks Can Auto Schedule?
Auto supports five task types, each designed for a different monitoring use case.
Price Alerts
Watches a token price and alerts when a threshold is crossed
BTC, ETH, SOL price targets
Portfolio Checks
Reviews your wallet on a schedule
Daily snapshots, balance change detection
Market Research
Runs recurring market analysis
Morning briefings, sector updates
Position Monitoring
Watches open positions and DeFi exposure
LP ranges, lending health, leverage risk
Custom
Handles complex recurring analysis requests
Technical analysis, reminders, watchlists
How Do I Create a Scheduled Task?
Auto reads the schedule directly from your message and converts it into a recurring job. No special syntax is required — natural language works.
Simple Task Examples
"Alert me when ETH goes above $4,000"
"Check my portfolio every hour"
"Give me a market briefing every morning at 9am UTC"
"Monitor my positions every 30 minutes"
Technical Analysis Task Examples
Custom tasks support advanced technical analysis workflows:
"Schedule a task every 4 hours to run a full technical analysis on BTC. Include RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Supertrend, and ADX. If there's a major signal change, highlight it."
"Schedule a daily task at 8am UTC to get technical analysis on crude oil (USO) and the US dollar index (UUP). Compare their momentum. When oil is strong and dollar is weak, flag it as a risk-on signal."
"Every 6 hours, run a multi-timeframe analysis on BTC across 1h, 4h, and 1d. Tell me the confluence verdict."
"Schedule a task every 2 hours to check ETH volatility profile and Bollinger Band squeeze status. Only message me if a squeeze is detected or ATR spikes above 5%."
"Every morning at 9am UTC, run technical analysis on BTC, ETH, SOL, AAPL, and NVDA. Give me a summary of each: trend direction, RSI zone, and any notable signals."
"Every 8 hours, scan BTC and ETH for candlestick patterns on the 4h timeframe. Only notify me if a reversal pattern appears."
What Schedule Formats Does Auto Support?
Auto interprets schedules from natural language. These are the supported schedule patterns.
Interval
Every 30 minutes
Daily
Every day at 9am UTC
Weekly
Every Monday at 8am
Once
Remind me in 2 hours
What Does Auto Confirm When a Task Is Created?
Auto confirms five details for every new task.
Task
The name of the task
Type
Price alert, portfolio check, market research, position monitor, or custom
Schedule
How often it runs
Next Run
When the next execution is scheduled
Delivery
How notifications are sent
What Are the Delivery Modes?
Delivery mode controls how Auto notifies you when a task runs.
chat
Auto sends every result regardless of changes
chat_if_changed
Auto only sends updates when something meaningful changed
silent
Auto runs the task but does not post results
Price alerts and position monitoring work best with chat_if_changed to reduce noise when nothing meaningful has changed.
How Do I List My Scheduled Tasks?
Auto shows a table of all active and paused tasks with their task number, name, type, schedule, next run, and status.
"List my scheduled tasks"
"Show my tasks"
"What alerts do I have running?"
How Do I Pause a Task?
Pausing stops future runs but keeps the task saved. You can resume it later without recreating it.
"Pause my BTC alert"
"Pause task 3"
How Do I Resume a Paused Task?
Resuming reactivates a paused task and schedules the next run.
"Resume my BTC alert"
"Resume task 3"
How Do I Cancel a Task Permanently?
Canceling removes a task permanently. This differs from pausing because canceled tasks cannot be resumed — you would need to create a new task.
"Cancel my ETH volatility task"
"Delete task 2"
What Are the Limits and Constraints?
Auto supports up to 20 active tasks per user
Each task type has a minimum interval to prevent excessive polling
Scheduled tasks are read-only — they monitor and report but never move funds or execute transactions automatically
Price alerts are lightweight because Auto checks prices before running deeper analysis
What Makes a Good Scheduled Task Prompt?
The best task prompts include four things:
What to monitor — the asset, position, or metric
How often — the frequency or schedule
What matters — the threshold or condition that counts as important
Notification preference — whether you want every update or only meaningful changes
Example Prompts to Try
"Alert me when SOL drops below $120"
"Check my portfolio every day at 8am and only message me if allocations changed"
"Every 4 hours, analyze BTC and ETH and tell me if trend signals flipped"
"List my scheduled tasks"
