Accio scheduled tasks: daily store report, RFQ alerts, Monday competitor watch

Key takeaways:

Create schedules in chat (“every morning at 9:30…”) or via sidebar → Automations → new task. Three modes: delayed, daily fixed time, interval repeat.
Trade assistant official templates: store report daily at 9:00; competitor product watch Mondays at 10:00; RFQ push daily at 10:00.
Put stop conditions in the prompt: no auto-send, no auto price change. Tasks do not run while the PC is off; Accio checks missed runs after restart.

Ops usually asks when the daily report lands, how RFQs push every day, and how Monday competitor watch is set. Accio’s common-ops FAQ and automations guide describe two creation paths and three modes. The trade assistant page gives copy-ready templates. This FieldNote thickens those facts for sellers.

1. Two ways to create

Official common-ops answer:

Say it in chat, e.g. “Summarize the news for me every morning at 9:30.”
Manual: sidebar → Automations → new task → set plan and prompt.

Automations guide: open scheduled tasks in the sidebar, create new, pick an Agent, write instructions, set the schedule. Use the manual page when you need finer control.

Docs: common operations · automations guide.

2. Three mode facts

Mode	Official meaning	Typical use
Delayed	Run once at a set time	“Remind me about the meeting in 30 minutes”
Daily fixed time	Same clock every day	Store report 9:00; RFQ 10:00
Interval repeat	Repeat on a fixed interval	Check every few hours (still need stop conditions)

Help center examples also say scheduled vs repeating runs. If your UI says Automations, it is the same feature family.

3. Daily store report: official line

Trade assistant store-analysis template (Chinese original):

帮我生成国际站店铺的经营日报，从今天开始每天早上 9 点准时发给我。重点看流量转化有什么可优化点，并列出今天我要做的最重要3件事。

You may change the clock after one clean day on the official 9:00. The report is an analysis draft, not an auto bid change on P4P.

4. RFQ push daily at 10:00

Official market-insight template:

为我推荐 [近48小时] [发动机配件] 相关的RFQ，商机来源不限于国际站，并每天 [10点] 定时推送

Swap category, window, and clock. For list-only vs nine-section quotes, see Accio for RFQ. A scheduled push does not replace a final buyer-facing quote from the desktop RFQ Assistant.

5. Competitor product: Mondays 10:00

Official template:

每周一上午10点自动监控这个竞品商品【商品链接】，抓取价格、MOQ、曝光/点击指数等关键经营数据，输出周度变化对比情况。

The same page has a store version for Mondays at 10:00 (operating index, buyer profile, representative products). Replace the link. Output is a week-over-week comparison, not auto price matching.

6. Stop conditions (must be in the prompt)

Do not auto-send mail or change prices.
Report / list / draft only; wait for human confirmation.
Do not edit live product prices, stock, or freight templates.
Buyer outreach copy needs a named person to click send.

Add after the official template: “Output to this chat only. Do not send email or site messages. Do not change any live product prices.”

7. PC off and missed tasks

Help center: scheduled tasks do not run while the computer is off. After you start Accio Work, the system checks missed tasks and runs them.

If you need a 9:00 report, boot the PC and open Accio Work before work. Do not assume a long-closed desktop still delivers on the minute.

8. Failure paths

Symptom	Check first	Next step
Nothing at the scheduled time	PC on? Accio running? Task still listed?	Wait for catch-up after boot, or recreate in the sidebar
Wrong content	Category / link placeholders	Narrow category; verify product links
Quota error	Credits indicator / model	Credits guide: wait 24h, switch model, cut parallel jobs
It changed live prices or tried to send	Missing stop conditions?	Pause the task; add stop lines; human-rollback prices
Wrong timezone feel	System clock vs “9:00 morning”	Align local clock; change the hour and watch one day

9. Who clicks

Role	Clicks	Must not click alone
Ops	Create/pause automations; intake reports and RFQ lists	External quotes; live price edits
Sales	Read RFQ lists; pick leads; edit quote drafts	Treat “schedule finished” as “buyer contacted”
Owner	Which three tasks stay on; who may send; PC duty	Ten parallel heavy jobs with no reviewers

Store auth and plugins: connect the trade assistant.

10. First few days trial

Day 1: Only the official daily report line at 9:00. Add stop conditions.
Day 2: Add RFQ push at 10:00 for one category. Lists only.
Day 3: If needed, add Monday 10:00 competitor product watch. Before Monday, run once manually to verify the link.
Day 4: Power off then on. Confirm missed-task catch-up so you do not misread a “broken system.”
Days 5–7: Review credit burn and push quality. Keep parallel volume to what humans can review. Credits: credits article.

11. Working with RFQ Assistant and listing

Schedules solve “a list on time.” Nine-section quotes need the desktop RFQ Assistant: Accio for RFQ. Moving 1688 links: move listing tutorial. Inquiry replies: how to reply.

12. Three official templates at a glance

Scene	Clock (official example)	Agent
Store daily report	Every morning 9:00	International trade assistant
RFQ push	Every day 10:00	International trade assistant
Competitor product weekly watch	Monday morning 10:00	International trade assistant

Before enabling all three, name the PC owner and the human reviewer. No reviewer means no auto-send style actions.

Questions we get

Can I schedule without using the sidebar?

Yes. Official docs allow saying it in chat, e.g. every morning at 9:30, or sidebar → Automations → new task.

What are the three modes?

Delayed run, daily fixed time, and interval repeat.

If the PC is off at 9:00, does the report still run?

Official answer: scheduled tasks do not run while the computer is off. After Accio Work starts, missed tasks are checked and run.

Does competitor watch auto-match prices?

The official template outputs week-over-week comparison. Add stop conditions: no auto price change, no auto-send.

Is RFQ schedule the same as the RFQ Assistant?

No. Scheduled lists usually use the trade assistant template. Nine-section quotes and staged follow-up use the desktop RFQ Assistant.
