#78 Cron jobs should be able to report into Telegram

[Anonymous]

Summary

Scheduled tasks run locally, but there is no way to have a cron job deliver its result through the Telegram channel. Users who already control the agent from Telegram expect scheduled output to land there too.

User feedback (Discord)

"It'd be good to have cron jobs running on telegram."

Raised on Twitter first, then repeated in Discord on 2026-07-25.

Open questions

• Final result only, or progress updates while the task runs?
• Which chat does output go to when several are paired?
• Should a scheduled task be allowed to ask for approval via Telegram, or should approval-requiring steps simply fail when unattended?

Why it matters

Telegram is currently the only remote channel the agent has. Scheduled work that cannot report anywhere remote is invisible unless the user opens the terminal, which defeats the point of scheduling it.
