Routines are automations managed per companion and from the full Routines page at strawberry://routines. The routines page has a flat list across companions, companion filters, search, detail screens, editing, and run history. You can create routines conversationally. If a workflow should repeat, tell the companion:
The companion can help turn the workflow into a scheduled routine and ask for any missing trigger, account, approval, or notification details.

Routine routes

  • /routines: list view with a run history sparkline card
  • /routines/history: aggregate run history across companions
  • /routines/:id: routine detail and run history
  • /routines/:id/edit: routine editor
  • /routines/new: opens the routines list with the create-routine dialog

Create a routine

  1. Open strawberry://routines.
  2. Click New routine to open the create-routine dialog.
  3. Choose a trigger type:
    • Daily
    • Interval
    • Cron expression
    • App trigger, such as new email
  4. If the trigger needs a connected account, select one.
  5. Give the routine a name.
  6. Write the instruction prompt.
  7. Click Create routine. A routine needs at minimum a name and instructions. If anything required is missing, Create routine stays clickable and the dialog highlights the fields that need attention instead of being disabled.

Create a routine from a chat

When a chat produces a workflow you want to repeat, ask Strawberry to schedule it:
Good routine-creation chats usually clarify:
  • The schedule or event trigger
  • Which companion should run the work
  • Which connected account, folder, label, project, or source to use
  • What counts as important enough to notify you
  • What the routine may do automatically
  • What must wait for your approval

Get help creating a routine

Open strawberry://routines and choose Create with companion to work through an idea in chat. Describe the outcome you want, the schedule or event, and when you want to be notified. You can also ask in any existing chat to turn a successful workflow into a routine.

Manage routines

You can:
  • Filter by companion.
  • Search routines.
  • Open a detail page.
  • Edit a routine.
  • Delete a routine.
  • Pause and resume.
  • Run now for scheduled routines.
  • Replay last run for webhook routines when available.
  • Review run history.

How running routines appear

When a routine fires, Strawberry creates a real chat session. If the task finds nothing significant, it can delete the automatic chat. If it finds something, it can notify you and keep the session visible. Cron routines show scheduled-work notices. Webhook routines show webhook notices with integration logos when available.

Best practices

  • Combine related actions into one routine prompt when they share the same trigger.
  • Keep prompts explicit about what counts as important enough to notify you.
  • Ask routines to delete quiet chats when nothing meaningful happened.
  • Review run history to tune noisy routines.
