FAQ
We’re making scheduled tasks easier to create and manage in ChatGPT, with a dedicated Scheduled page, improved task creation and editing flows, more flexible scheduling options, and better notifications. Users can schedule tasks for broader windows like morning, afternoon, or evening, and ask ChatGPT to check for changes and notify them when there’s a meaningful update.
Who can use scheduled tasks?
Scheduled tasks are available globally to Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users on ChatGPT web, mobile, and in the ChatGPT desktop app.
Is the Scheduled page available in the ChatGPT desktop app?
Yes. In the desktop app, select ChatGPT from the top-left menu, then select Scheduled in the sidebar. Scheduled is not available in Codex.
What can I do from the new Scheduled page?
You can view and manage all of your scheduled tasks in one place. From there, you can create new tasks, open existing tasks to see responses, check when they’ll run next, and pause, resume, edit, or delete them.
What happens if I delete a chat associated with a task?
If you delete a chat associated with a scheduled task, the task will automatically pause. You can also delete a task directly from the Scheduled page; deleting the task won’t delete the associated chat.
What are monitoring tasks?
Monitoring tasks let ChatGPT periodically check for a change and notify you only when there is something worth reporting. Previous runs are remembered, and monitored tasks can stop when the end condition is met.
How often can tasks run, and is there a limit?
Tasks cannot run more than once per hour. Users on the Go plan can have up to 3 active tasks, Plus users can have up to 5, and Pro, Business, and Enterprise users can have up to 15 active tasks. Unattended tasks may automatically pause after a period of inactivity.
What’s the difference between scheduled tasks and automations in Codex?
Scheduled tasks are a ChatGPT feature for proactive work such as reminders, recurring tasks, daily briefings, and monitoring. Codex automations are focused workflows that run in Codex.
Why did my task pause?
A scheduled task may pause if it’s been inactive or needs additional action from you. Tasks will also pause automatically if the associated chat is deleted. You can review paused tasks from the Scheduled page, where you can resume, edit, or delete them.
Do tasks work with apps like Gmail?
Tasks can use apps like Gmail when they’re available for your account or workspace. You can go to the Apps tab to see what’s connected or install a supported app. For Business and Enterprise users, app availability may also depend on your workspace settings and what your admin has enabled.
How do app permissions work with tasks?
Apps let ChatGPT read information or take actions in connected services, depending on the permissions you’ve set. If you use a personal account, you can manage app permissions yourself. If you use a Business or Enterprise workspace, available apps and permission options may depend on your workspace settings and what your admin has enabled. In managed workspaces, admins may control persistent permissions or limit certain app actions, so a task may need approval before using an app or may not be able to take some actions.
Do tasks work with information from ChatGPT Health and Finances?
If you’ve set up ChatGPT Health and Finance, scheduled tasks can work with that information. For example, you could use scheduled tasks for portfolio updates after market close or a biweekly spending review. Scheduled tasks don’t currently support webhooks, so they’re better suited for scheduled or recurring check-ins than event-triggered automations.
Why did I receive a Weekly finances update I didn’t create?
When you connect a financial account to ChatGPT Finances, a Weekly finances update may be created automatically. Existing Finances users may also receive a one-time notification when the task is added.
To stop future updates, open Scheduled, select Weekly finances update, and choose Pause or Delete. You can also manage your tasks under Settings → Notifications → Manage tasks. You do not need to turn off all ChatGPT notifications.
