Scheduling with Cron

Create automated report tasks using OpenClaw cron:

# Daily report at 20:00 on workdays
openclaw cron add \
  --name "Daily Report" \
  --cron "0 20 * * 1-5" \
  --tz "Asia/Shanghai" \
  --session isolated \
  --agent-turn "Generate the daily report. Read the relevant data sources, structure the findings, and deliver to the target channel."
Weekly report every Friday at 16:00
openclaw cron add \
  --name "Weekly Report" \
  --cron "0 16 * * 5" \
  --tz "Asia/Shanghai" \
  --session isolated \
  --agent-turn "Generate the weekly report covering this week's activity."

Cron Best Practices

1. Use isolated sessions — prevents message duplication 2. Use agentTurn — not systemEvent (avoids triple-delivery bugs) 3. Set delivery.mode: "none" — let the agent handle messaging itself 4. Keep prompts self-contained — isolated sessions have no context 5. Set reasonable timeouts — 90-180s for simple reports, 300s for complex ones

Channel Delivery

Feishu (Lark) Interactive Card

{
  "config": {"wide_screen_mode": true},
  "header": {
    "title": {"tag": "plain_text", "content": "📊 Daily Report — 2026-04-06"},
    "template": "blue"
  },
  "elements": [
    {"tag": "markdown", "content": "Key Metrics\n▸ Revenue: +12%\n▸ Users: 1.2k active"},
    {"tag": "hr"},
    {"tag": "markdown", "content": "Highlights\n1. Launched new feature\n2. Fixed critical bug"},
    {"tag": "hr"},
    {"tag": "markdown", "content": "Tomorrow\n▸ Ship v2.1\n▸ Team standup at 10am"}
  ]
}

Use the message tool: action=send, channel=feishu, target=chat:, card=

Plain Text (any channel)

Use the message tool with a message parameter for simple text delivery.

Document Export

Use feishu_create_doc to create persistent documents (for archives)

Use feishu_update_doc to update existing documents

Report Quality Standards

1. Data first — Collect real data before writing analysis 2. Concise — Daily: 300-500 words, Weekly: 800-1200 words 3. Actionable — Conclusions should drive decisions, not just describe 4. Consistent format — Same structure every time for scannability 5. No fluff — Skip filler phrases, lead with the most important info

Common Cron Schedules

# After market close (workdays)
0 15 * * 1-5   Asia/Shanghai   # A-share close
0 16 * * 1-5   Asia/Shanghai   # Buffer for data collection
Evening summaries
0 20 * * 1-5   Asia/Shanghai   # Workday evening
0 22 * * *     Asia/Shanghai   # Before sleep
Weekly reports
0 16 * * 5     Asia/Shanghai   # Friday afternoon
0 8 * * 1      Asia/Shanghai   # Monday morning
Monthly reports
0 9 1 * *      Asia/Shanghai   # 1st of month

Advanced: Report Chains

For complex workflows, chain multiple cron jobs:

1. Data collector (15:00) — Fetch raw data, save to file 2. Analyzer (15:10) — Read data file, generate insights 3. Publisher (15:15) — Format and deliver to channels

This prevents timeout issues with complex reports.

Examples

Health Tracking Report

# Daily health summary at 22:00
openclaw cron add --name "Health Daily" \
  --cron "0 22 * * *" --tz "Asia/Shanghai" \
  --session isolated \
  --agent-turn "Read health/LOG.md and health/PROFILE.md. Generate a health summary covering: water intake, meals, exercise, sleep, weight trend. Deliver to user via message tool."

Market Intelligence Report

# Market briefing at 07:00
openclaw cron add --name "Market Intel" \
  --cron "0 7 * * 1-5" --tz "Asia/Shanghai" \
  --session isolated \
  --agent-turn "Search for overnight US market data, commodity prices, and key news. Format as a structured briefing card and deliver to chat:oc_xxxxxx via message tool."

Compatibility

Works with any OpenClaw channel (Feishu, Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.)

No external dependencies required

Works in both main and isolated session targets
