Beta: Automations is in early access. Functionality will continue to improve.

​
Overview

An Automation sends a prompt to a Desktop on a schedule. You write the prompt, pick when it runs, and Happycapy executes it automatically — no manual intervention needed.

​
Creating an Automation

Click Automations in the sidebar, then Create Automation.

Set it and forget it

Schedule prompts to run on autopilot.

Create Automation dialog
Fill in:
  • Name — something descriptive (e.g. “Morning summary”)
  • Desktop — which Desktop to run in
  • Session binding — which session within that Desktop (or the main session)
  • Schedule — Daily at a specific time, or an interval (every N hours). Pick which days of the week.
  • Prompt — the message Happycapy will execute
  • Run immediately — toggle on to run once right now in addition to the schedule
Click Create and you’re done.

Examples

A morning news digest: 
Fetch trending news in AI, startups, and product design.
Filter out clickbait. Summarize each item in one sentence.
Generate an HTML brief and send it to my email.
Hourly GitHub PR check: 
Check all open PRs in my-org/my-repo.
List any that need my review or have new comments.
Post a summary to my Desktop.
Weekly project report: 
Summarize all work done in this Desktop over the past week.
List completed tasks, open issues, and next steps.
Generate a report and save it to outputs/.
The prompt runs exactly as if you typed it in a conversation. Anything you can do manually in a session, an Automation can do on a schedule.
