Scheduling

InfluencerPy includes a powerful Schedule Builder to help you plan when your Scouts should run.

Configuration

When creating or updating a Scout, you can assign a schedule using the interactive wizard.

The Schedule Builder

You don't need to know complex cron syntax. The CLI offers an easy-to-use menu:

1. Daily: Select specific hours (e.g., 09:00, 18:00).
2. Weekly: Select specific days and time (e.g., Monday and Friday at 10:00).
3. Monthly: Run on a specific day of the month.
4. Interval: Run every X hours.
5. Advanced: Manually enter a cron string (e.g., 0 12 * * 1).

Execution

Currently, the schedule configuration is stored as metadata attached to your Scout.

Note: The background daemon that automatically executes Scouts based on this schedule is currently in development.

Recommended Workflow (Current)

For now, we recommend running your Scouts manually via the CLI when you are ready to review content:

influencerpy
# Select "Manage Scouts" -> "Run Scout"

Or, for automation experts, you can use your system's cron or launchd to trigger the CLI command (feature coming soon: influencerpy run scout-name).
