Running, Scheduling, and Automating Agents

Run it once. Or run it forever. It’s your call.

Once you’ve configured an Agent, running it is simple — but that doesn’t mean it’s basic. Ongage Studio gives you powerful options for one-time execution, scheduled automations, and continuous generation. Whether you’re producing a weekly article, a daily SEO block, or a quote-verified newsletter, you choose when and how often your Agent runs.


Ways to Run an Agent

1. Manual Run

The simplest option. After filling in your Agent’s inputs, click Run Agent. Your result will appear in the Content Created tab in seconds, tagged with the Agent name and timestamp.

  • Use this when:
  • You want to review outputs one-by-one
  • You’re testing input variations
  • You’re creating content on demand

2. Scheduled Run

You can schedule your Agent to run automatically at a specific time or repeat on a recurring basis (e.g., every Monday at 8am).

Set it once, and Studio handles the rest.

Scheduling supports:

  • One-time future runs
  • Recurring daily, weekly, or monthly intervals
  • Specific time-of-day preferences
  • Optional start/end dates

Common use cases:

  • Weekly newsletter generation
  • Daily SEO updates
  • Biweekly blog production
  • Content aligned to time-sensitive events

3. Chained Run (Multi-Agent Sequences)

If your Agent is part of a chain, running one Agent will automatically pass its output to the next.

For example:

  • Blog Post Generator → Humanizer → SEO Block Generator
  • The initial Agent runs first, then triggers each step in order
  • You can still review or edit results between steps, or run the chain automatically

Automation Notes

  • Outputs are always saved under Content Created, labeled by Agent and date
  • Brand Voice, Tags, and Site settings are carried forward into each scheduled run
  • If an Agent fails, logs will show the error reason (see 2.7 – Monitoring Agent Runs)
  • Scheduled Agents can be edited or canceled at any time
  • You can schedule multiple Agents at once, even if they belong to the same chain

Pro Tips

  • Use clear Agent names (e.g., “Friday Newsletter” or “Q3 SEO Headlines”) so automation logs stay clean
  • Test your Agent manually first before turning on a schedule
  • If using Datastreams, ensure your filters return high-quality results reliably before automating
  • You can clone any Agent and reconfigure it for a different schedule or campaign
