# Auto-create records on a recurring schedule

> Use a scheduled trigger to create records automatically at regular intervals

<Tip>We recommend building automation examples directly in AI chat. Just describe the workflow you want, and AI will handle the full setup for you, including the trigger, actions, script, and configuration.</Tip>

## Build with AI

Open the AI Chat in your table's right sidebar and tell AI what you want. For example, you can say:

*"Every Monday at 9am, create a new Weekly Review task in my Tasks table with status set to To Do"*

AI will create the complete workflow automatically. You can review the generated script, test it with real data, and enable the workflow when ready.

## Manual setup

1. **Create a workflow** and choose the trigger **At Scheduled Time**.
2. Configure the schedule:
   * Frequency: **Weeks**, every **1** week
   * Weekdays: **Monday**
   * Trigger time: **09:00**
   * Time zone: your local time zone
3. Click **Test** to verify the next trigger time.
4. **Add an action** → **Create Record**.
5. Select your **Tasks** table.
6. Map the fields:
   * Title → `Weekly Review`
   * Due Date → use the **+** button to insert the trigger's timestamp
   * Status → `To Do`
7. Click **Run as Configured** to test.
8. **Enable** the workflow.

## Variations

* **Daily standup reminder:** set frequency to Days, every 1 day, at 09:00.
* **Monthly invoice:** set frequency to Months, day 1, to create a billing record at the start of each month.
* **One-time event:** set frequency to One-time for a single future date.
