Scheduled Audits

Included on Pro and Advanced

This document is open to every reader on every plan. Availability tells you what a plan includes; it does not decide what you may read.

What it is for

An audit you have to remember to run is an audit that stops happening. A schedule turns a one-off check into a record over time, so a regression arrives as a change you can see rather than a discovery you make three weeks later. It runs the same audit you would run yourself, on the project you choose, at the frequency you choose.

How to use it

Open the schedule page from the project audits page. A schedule belongs to one project, so it starts from that project rather than from a list.
Read the monthly cost in the page head before you choose. Daily spends thirty audits a month, weekly spends four, monthly spends one.
Choose the frequency your allowance can carry. If daily costs more than your plan allows, the arithmetic is stated rather than left for you to do.
Pause rather than delete when you want a break. A paused schedule keeps its history; a deleted one does not.

Reading the result

The head states what the current schedule costs against your monthly allowance, and the page states when the last run happened and how it ended. A scheduled run is an ordinary audit in every respect: it spends the same allowance, produces the same findings, and appears in the same audit history as one you started by hand.

What it cannot tell you

A schedule cannot exceed your monthly allowance, and it is not a separate allowance: switching on daily monitoring with an allowance of ten gives you ten audits and then twenty nights of a refusal that is the platform working correctly and looking broken. Repeated failures pause a schedule rather than retrying forever, because a schedule that fails silently every night is worse than one that stops and says so.

What it keeps

The schedule itself, its last outcome, and the audits it produced - which live in the project audit history like any other. The schedule record is small on purpose: the evidence is the audits, not the timetable that caused them.
