Automations

An automation is one task Vector runs again and again on a schedule. Open Automations from the home screen, write the task, choose the repositories it runs in, and pick how often it repeats.

• Across repositoriesOne task and one schedule, in every repository you select. Each run reports back separately.
• New or existing sessionsContinue a thread you already started, or open a fresh session for every run.
• While you are awayVector stays in the tray after you close the window, so runs fire without you there.

Scheduling lives in the Vector desktop app, so tasks fire while that app is running — including with every window closed, but not while the machine is off or Vector has been quit from the tray. A scheduled run uses Vector's own agent rather than an external CLI runtime.

Runs that fall due while Vector is fully closed are not replayed one by one. The next start catches up with a single run and says how many it skipped.
