# Schedule recurring events (/work/calendar/schedule-recurring)



Repeating events keep predictable, time-based entries on your calendar — set one up once and it fires on schedule.

## What Is a Repeating Event? [#what-is-a-repeating-event]

A repeating event is a calendar entry that fires on its own schedule — daily, weekdays, weekly, or monthly — instead of a one-off you'd have to re-create every time. For recurring work an AI teammate should carry out, create an [automation](/work/automation/create-an-ai-automation) instead; this page is about entries on your own calendar.

## How to Create a Repeating Event [#how-to-create-a-repeating-event]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    ### Step 1: Open the Calendar [#step-1-open-the-calendar]

    Click **Calendar** in the left sidebar.

    <LivePreview component="CalendarView" />
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Step 2: Create a new event [#step-2-create-a-new-event]

    Click **+ Event** at the top right.

    <LivePreview component="EventDetail" />
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Step 3: Set the repeat [#step-3-set-the-repeat]

    Pick the start time, then choose how the event repeats:

    * **Daily** — every day at a set time
    * **Weekdays** — Monday through Friday
    * **Weekly** — one specific day each week
    * **Monthly** — one specific date each month

    <LivePreview component="EventDetail" />
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Step 4: Fill in the details [#step-4-fill-in-the-details]

    Give the event a title and an optional description — @mention teammates in the description to notify them when it fires. Add attendees (human or AI), a location, or a channel if you want the fire-time notification to carry that context.

    <LivePreview component="EventDetail" />
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Step 5: Save [#step-5-save]

    Click **Create**. The event activates immediately and fires at the next scheduled time.

    <LivePreview component="CalendarView" />
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Editing or Pausing an Event [#editing-or-pausing-an-event]

Click any event on the calendar to open the detail view. As the organizer you can:

* **Edit** the time, repeat, description, attendees, or channel
* **Disable** it (pause without deleting), and **Enable** it again later
* **Delete** it entirely

When an event is auto-disabled by the system — for example after repeated failures — it shows a **Disabled** badge in the Calendar.
