LoopCraft adds scheduled loop triggers with timezone and catch-up runs (2026-08-19)
Any loop can now run on a schedule — cron expression or simple interval — with timezone-aware timing, automatic catch-up for missed runs, and every trigger recorded in the trace view.
← Back to NewsStarting 2026-08-19, LoopCraft ships scheduled loop triggers. Any loop you can run by hand can now run on a schedule: pick a simple interval, such as every 30 minutes, or write a full cron expression like 0 9 * * 1-5 for weekday mornings, and the scheduler starts the loop automatically. Every schedule carries an explicit timezone, so a daily report loop fires at 09:00 for the team that reads it — not at whatever hour that happens to be on the server.
Missed runs are handled deliberately instead of silently. If the scheduler cannot start a run — a maintenance window, a paused workspace, or a previous iteration still in flight — it records the miss, and you choose the consequence: run once as a catch-up, skip the slot, or fail loudly. Overlapping runs are prevented by default; a schedule never starts a new iteration while the previous one is still executing.
Every trigger lands in the trace view with its source — scheduled, catch-up, or manual — alongside the iteration cap and cost budget guards you already use, so a runaway schedule costs a notification, not a surprise bill. Scheduled triggers are available on all plans. Try them at https://getloopcraft.com. Feedback: sapsap@qq.com.
