FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does Untimely schedule?
Untimely schedules recurring events that should happen inside a useful window, not at one exact minute. It is built for prompts, reminders, and lightweight webhook automations.
Which actions are supported?
Email and webhook actions are supported. Email is best for human prompts, while webhooks are best for agent triggers and integrations you control.
Is this a cron replacement?
Sometimes. Untimely is better when the schedule is a human window. A traditional cron tool is better when code must run at a precise fixed interval.
Can I see when events ran?
Yes. Untimely keeps event history so you can review recent runs and adjust the schedule when the window no longer fits.
Start with one recurring moment.
Create a random window, choose an action, and let Untimely handle the next run.
