Schedules for Managed Deep Agents: Cron jobs, prompts, and Slack delivery
Sep 23, 2026LangChain
Summary
This post introduces the capability to schedule Managed Deep Agents to run at specific times, such as cron jobs, and deliver their outputs to designated channels like Slack. It demonstrates how to configure a weekly Salesforce pipeline summary that posts to Slack every Monday, while the same agent remains available for ad hoc questions. The process involves defining the schedule syntax, building the cron job and prompt, configuring Slack delivery, and deploying the scheduled agent to LangSmith for inspection and monitoring.
