Important Reminder for Scheduled Tasks
Scheduled tasks will only execute if the desktop app is open and your computer is not in 'Sleep' mode. If the computer sleeps, Co-work will skip the schedule and will only 'catch up' or re-run the task once the app is opened again.
Benefits of Dispatch Integration
When using Dispatch, all 'skills' and 'connectors' you have configured on the desktop are automatically carried over to your phone. There is no need for manual reconfiguration on mobile.
Tips for Automation Consistency
To ensure automations run consistently without failure, keep the desktop app open on a computer that stays on, or adjust your computer's 'Power & Sleep' settings to 'Never Sleep'.
Step by Step
How to Schedule Task Automations (Scheduled Tasks)
- Open the Co-work desktop app on your computer.
- Click on the 'Scheduled Tasks' tab located in the navigation bar.
- Select the workflow or AI task you want to schedule.
- Set the specific time and date for the task to run automatically.
- Save the settings and ensure the task status indicates it will 'run' at the scheduled time.
How to Use Dispatch from Your Phone

- Open the Claude mobile app on your smartphone.
- Enable the 'Dispatch' feature within the mobile app to 'pair' your phone and desktop.
- Type and send a message or prompt from your phone.
