Routines let you schedule recurring reports and tasks that Search Atlas Coworker runs automatically and posts to a Slack channel or DM on your chosen schedule — no manual check-ins required.

## What You Can Automate

- Weekly GSC performance summaries posted to your team channel
- Daily ranking changes for your top keywords
- Monthly site audit reports
- Scheduled alerts when specific metrics change significantly
- Any recurring request you would otherwise send Search Atlas Coworker manually

## How to Create a Routine

**Just describe what you want in plain language.**

**Examples:**

- *"Every Monday at 9am, post a summary of last week's GSC performance to #seo-team."*
- *"Every day at 8am, send me the top 10 ranking changes for my tracked keywords."*
- *"On the first of each month, run a site audit and post the critical issues to #website."*

Search Atlas Coworker will confirm the details of the routine and show you an **approval card** summarizing what it will do, when, and where it will post the results.

## Reviewing and Approving the Routine

The approval card shows:

- The task Search Atlas Coworker will perform
- The schedule (frequency, time, and timezone)
- The Slack channel or DM where results will be posted

Click **Approve** to activate the routine. The first run will happen at the next scheduled time.

## Managing Existing Routines

You can manage your routines at any time by asking Search Atlas Coworker:

- *"Show me my active routines."* — lists all running automations
- *"Pause my weekly GSC report."* — suspends a routine without deleting it
- *"Delete my daily ranking report."* — permanently removes the routine
- *"Change my Monday GSC report to Fridays at 5pm."* — updates the schedule

## Timezone

Search Atlas Coworker uses the timezone of your Slack workspace by default. You can specify a different timezone when creating a routine: *"Every Monday at 9am New York time."*
