Routines

Task-routines only — the scheduler for Work that will fire later.

Routines

Routines are the scheduler: rules for work that will fire later. They are task-routines only — each fire mints (or materializes) Work. They are not a second project-management product and not function-routines.

How to use it

  1. Create a routine with a Task instruction or a Blueprint attachment.
  2. Set the schedule; activate when you want it to fire.
  3. Watch Next scheduled previews in the Work browser (ghost next-tasks).
  4. Open the routine panel for run history and deeper settings.

Key distinctions

  • Work = present (what is running). Routines = future (what will fire).
  • Product path is task-routines only (Timer chrome).
  • Optional Blueprint pointer on fire — structured Work, still one routine type.
  • Event reactions (form submitted, record changes) live under Automations — not on Routines.
