An automation schedule is a recurring time rule attached to an Autogram automation task that defines when and how often the task generates and publishes content. Schedules range from simple daily or weekly intervals to cron-style rules for complex patterns like "weekdays at 9 AM and 6 PM." When a schedule fires, Autogram generates a post (or picks one from the content pool), scores it for quality, and publishes it to the configured channels if it passes the threshold — all without manual intervention.
The limit on cadence is almost never the rule; it is how much material you can produce at a standard you would defend. A daily schedule with three good posts a week in it degrades the channel faster than a schedule of three. Set the frequency to what the supply side can actually sustain over a month, then raise it once that holds.
Two rules that each look reasonable can collide. Recurrences are written independently but land on the same timeline, so a weekday morning rule and a twice-weekly evening rule will eventually stack on one day and leave the next empty. Spacing is worth checking against the combined result rather than each rule alone, since readers experience the sum and never see the parts.
A recurring rule is reliable, which is exactly its blind spot: it fires on the day of a holiday, a national tragedy or an outage on your own side with the same indifference it fires on an ordinary Tuesday. Recurrence removes the work of remembering to post; it does not remove the judgement about whether today is a day to post.
