What’s new

Scheduled automation (recurring jobs)

Digital Employees can be configured with a scheduler that triggers tasks, instructions, skills, or workflows automatically at predefined times.

  • Supports interval-based triggers (e.g., every N hours/days/weeks).

  • Supports calendar-based triggers, including monthly and annual schedules.

  • Scheduled runs enforce the DE’s configured rules and governance context.

  • Failures (e.g., missing credentials, tool timeouts, upstream API issues) are handled gracefully and can be escalated to the supervisor.

  • Schedules can be enabled/disabled without removing them.

Escalation to a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) supervisor

When a Digital Employee encounters a roadblock it cannot resolve (e.g., tool errors, user unresponsiveness on urgent tasks, or out-of-scope complexity), it can escalate via email to a designated supervisor.

  • Escalations include a structured incident summary (requester, requested action, tools/resources used, and reason for escalation).

  • Escalation conditions are configurable per Digital Employee, including the option to disable escalation entirely.

Immutable audit logging (tamper-evident)

All DE actions can be recorded in an append-only, tamper-evident audit trail to support compliance, debugging, and accountability.

  • Captures key traceability details including prompts/outputs (where applicable), tool/agent invocation order, parameters, and results.

  • Logs are queryable (e.g., by user, date range, action type, tool, success/failure).

  • Logs are exportable (e.g., JSON/CSV) and support retention policies (minimum 2 years).

Supervisor assignment (reporting & oversight)

Each Digital Employee can be configured with an assigned supervisor (name and email) who becomes the destination for:

  • Escalations and error notifications.

  • HITL approval requests (where enabled in your setup).

PDF report generation from Markdown + email delivery

DE Core can now generate a PDF from a Markdown input and send it via email as an attachment.

  • The Markdown-to-PDF conversion preserves the main content structure.

  • Email sending returns per-recipient delivery status (sent/failed).
