# Put your business on autopilot

> Tell Crevio what to do and when — and it runs the work for you, on a schedule or whenever something happens

This is where Crevio really shines. You don't just get an assistant that answers questions — you get one that **does the work**, even while you sleep.

You describe a job in plain words. Crevio handles it. "Every Monday morning, draft and schedule my social posts for the week." "When someone buys my course, send them a warm thank-you email." "Each evening, check my new leads and follow up with anyone who hasn't replied." You set it up once, and Crevio keeps doing it.

The best part: **you decide how much freedom Crevio has.** It can run completely on its own, ask you before it acts, or simply suggest what it would do. You're always in control.

## Why you'd use it

* **Get time back.** The repetitive work that eats your week just happens.
* **Never drop the ball.** Thank-you emails, follow-ups, and weekly posts go out on time, every time.
* **Run a bigger business than one person should be able to.** Crevio does the busywork so you focus on the work that matters.
* **Stay in control.** Choose how much Crevio does on its own — and review anything before it goes out.

<Tip>
  You don't need to learn a setup screen. The easiest way to start is to **just ask Crevio in chat:** "Every Monday at 9am, write and schedule three social posts about my latest product." Crevio sets up the recurring job for you and confirms what it'll do.
</Tip>

## Two ways a job can run

A job (Crevio calls these **tasks**) can kick off in two ways:

| When it runs               | Example                                                                                                   |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **On a schedule**          | "Every Monday at 9am, draft my weekly newsletter." "On the 1st of each month, send me a sales summary."   |
| **When something happens** | "When someone buys, send a thank-you email." "When a new lead comes in, add them to my welcome sequence." |

You can mix and match. Some jobs run like clockwork; others wait quietly until a sale, signup, or new lead triggers them.

## Set up a job

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe the job">
    Tell Crevio what you want done, in plain words. Be clear about the goal: "Draft and schedule three Instagram posts promoting my new ebook."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Say when it should happen">
    Choose a schedule ("every Monday at 9am," "the 1st of every month") or an event ("whenever someone makes a purchase"). Just describe it — Crevio sets the timing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose how much freedom it has">
    Decide whether Crevio should do the job automatically, ask you first, or just suggest what it would do (more on this below).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick how it tells you what it did">
    Choose where Crevio reports back — an in-app notification, an email, or a message on Telegram, Discord, or Slack.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn it on">
    That's it. Crevio runs the job whenever the time or event arrives, and keeps you posted.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Choose how much freedom Crevio has

This is the dial that keeps you comfortable. For every job, you pick one of three levels:

| Level                   | What it means                                                                    | Good for                                                                                      |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Do it automatically** | Crevio completes the job and tells you afterward.                                | Routine, low-risk work you trust — thank-you emails, scheduling posts you've reviewed before. |
| **Ask me first**        | Crevio prepares the work, then waits for your approval before anything goes out. | Anything customer-facing you want eyes on — broadcasts, replies, refunds.                     |
| **Just suggest**        | Crevio tells you what it *would* do, but takes no action.                        | When you're getting comfortable, or for sensitive decisions you want to make yourself.        |

<Tip>
  New to automation? Start with **"ask me first"** or **"just suggest."** Once you see Crevio do a job well a few times, switch it to **"do it automatically"** and let it run.
</Tip>

## How Crevio tells you what it did

You'll never be left wondering. After each run, Crevio reports back through whichever channels you chose:

* **In-app notification** — a quick heads-up inside your dashboard
* **Email** — a summary in your inbox
* **Telegram, Discord, or Slack** — a message wherever you already spend your day

The update tells you what Crevio did, what it produced, and — if the job is set to "ask me first" — what's waiting for your approval.

## Review and approve its work

When a job is set to **"ask me first,"** Crevio does all the prep and then pauses, holding the work for you. You'll get a notification that something needs your review.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the notification">
    Click through from your notification, email, or chat message to see exactly what Crevio prepared — the draft email, the scheduled posts, whatever the job produced.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review it">
    Read it over. If it's good, approve it. If it needs a tweak, tell Crevio what to change and it'll redo it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve — and Crevio finishes the job">
    Once you approve, Crevio carries out the action: the email sends, the posts schedule, the follow-up goes out.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Staying in control

Autopilot doesn't mean hands-off-and-hope. You're always the one steering:

* **Nothing surprising happens.** A job only runs the way you set it up — on the schedule or event you chose, at the freedom level you picked.
* **You can pause or change a job anytime.** Turn it off, adjust the timing, or rewrite what it does whenever you like.
* **You can see what it did.** Every run is reported back to you, so there's a clear record of what happened.
* **You can dial freedom up or down.** Start cautious, then loosen the reins as your trust grows — or tighten them again if you want closer review.

<Note>
  A good habit: leave anything that goes out to customers on **"ask me first"** until you've watched Crevio handle it a few times. There's no rush to hand over the keys.
</Note>

## If something goes wrong

* **A job didn't run when you expected.** Check that it's turned on and that the schedule or trigger is set the way you intended. Ask Crevio "show me my automated jobs and when they last ran."
* **Crevio did something you didn't want.** Switch that job to "ask me first" or "just suggest" so you review before it acts, then tell Crevio what to do differently next time.
* **You're not getting updates.** Make sure you've chosen at least one way to be notified, and that your Telegram, Discord, or Slack is connected if you picked those.
* **A job is waiting on you.** If a job is set to "ask me first," it pauses until you approve. Open the notification and review the work to let it continue.
* **Not sure what a job will do?** Set it to "just suggest" first. Crevio will show you its plan without taking any action.
