Converting scheduled tasks to automations

2026-02-07Last updated

You can convert legacy scheduled tasks to automations using the Automation task.

What you should know

Legacy scheduled tasks can be converted to schedule-based automations.
Note:
A scheduled task configured with the On startup recurrence is converted into an automation that runs each time the Automation Manager role is started.

Procedure

  1. Open the Automation task and click the Scheduled tasks tab.
  2. Select one or more scheduled tasks and click Convert to automation.
    Note:
    You’re limited to 100 scheduled tasks at a time.
  3. Click Convert > Close .
    You’re automatically brought to the Automations page.
    Note:
    • The created automations are named after the converted scheduled tasks.
    • The converted scheduled tasks are kept as backups, but deactivated to prevent duplication of performed actions.
    • If a converted scheduled task was deactivated before conversion, the corresponding automation created is also deactivated.
    • Automations converted from scheduled tasks trigger and execute actions with the privileges of the user who performed the conversion.
  4. (Optional) Configure the advanced settings for the created automations.

After you finish

Test the created automations before permanently deleting the converted scheduled tasks.
