Enable scheduling for your agentic workflows and agents to create automated schedules through the Chat UI.

​
Enabling scheduling for agentic workflows

To enable scheduling in agentic workflows, set schedulable=True in the @flow decorator: 
from ibm_watsonx_orchestrate.flow_builder.flows import flow

@flow(
    name="daily_report_flow",
    schedulable=True  # Enable scheduling
)
def my_workflow():
    # Agentic workflow logic
    pass

​
Enabling scheduling for agents

To enable scheduling in agents, enable scheduling when creating the agent: 
from ibm_watsonx_orchestrate.agent_builder.agents import Agent

my_agent = Agent(
    name="monitoring_agent",
    is_schedulable=True,  # Enable scheduling
    # other agent configuration...
)
Scheduling is disabled by default for all agents. Enable it manually if you want to use it.

​
Creating schedules through Chat UI

After you enable scheduling, create and manage schedules through natural language in the Chat UI: Create a schedule: 
Schedule daily_report_flow to run every Monday at 9 AM EST
View schedules: 
Show my schedules
Update a schedule: 
Change the daily report to run at 10 AM instead
Delete a schedule: 
Delete the monitoring schedule
You receive interactive forms that guide you through schedule configuration. For more information, see Scheduling tasks.
