Trigger tools based on some external event

In addition for he user to be able to request to do something, it would be quite productive to allow wxO to act on my behalf in certain circumstances such as a specific time of the day or a certain document being added to a certain folder.

    The ADK pro-code flow capability already supports the ability to schedule flows (preview). NOTE: scheduling agents and flows is done using the chat. See product docs here.

    We are planning to GA this in Q1 and expose it in the low-code flow builder.

    It would be valuable to include scheduling skill to schedule interviews after screening candidates.

    In addition to this - it would be great to have some simple scheduling mechanism to allow scheduling a skill or a skill flow daily / weekly / monthly at a particular date or time. For example - for the upselling for insurance demo I was asked if this could be scheduled every monday morning. Thanks

    Or, a website posting changes such as an available Golf Tee time. This type of event monitoring would be for any arbitrary focus that an RPA bot might be programmed to do today such as checking the SAP order system on Fridays for line items x, y, and z.
