Set up a task

Ask an agent, in a chat or in Slack. It can ask a question first, for example which ad account, and then it confirms what it set up.

Set up a task to send me my Meta ad spend, clicks, and cost per click for each campaign every Monday at 8:00 AM Pacific.

The agent confirms a weekly task: the account, the schedule, the report, and where it is sent

The task is now on the Automations page. At each run, the agent sends the report where it said, in this example your Hyper inbox: click the bell at the top of the sidebar. The run is also listed on the task under Previous runs. In Slack, mention the Hyper app with the same request in a Slack channel where your agent answers. To put an agent in Slack, see Slack.

In the sidebar, click Automations, then New task.
