Always on
It notices before you ask.
Propel keeps watch while you build. When new code lands on your main branch, a page you care about changes, or your search clicks swing, it starts the right work. Standing jobs run daily or weekly at the hour you pick, with your laptop closed. Each morning, one summary says what happened.
Later Always on is not in the public beta. Watching, standing jobs and the morning summary switch on after it.
What it watches
What does it watch for you?
Your code. New work pushed to your main branch on GitHub.
Pages. Up to 10, yours or your competitors', read about once a day. A change is sorted into pricing, positioning or other.
Your search numbers. Clicks and impressions from Google Search Console. A swing of 30% against the 28 days before it starts work, once there is enough history to judge.
Standing jobs
Can it do something every week?
Yes. Give it a standing job, like "every Monday, check what AI says about us", and it runs daily or weekly at the hour you pick, in your time zone.
A new automation starts switched off and turns on only with your yes. Each one has a limit on how often it can start in a day.
Each morning
What lands in your inbox?
One summary a day, at the hour you choose: what finished, what started on its own, and what is waiting for you. If nothing happened, nothing is sent. If a job waits on you for a day, it reminds you once.
Since you last looked
What do people ask about always-on work?
Does it need my laptop open?
No. Watchers, schedules and the jobs they start all run on Propel's servers.
Can it start work without asking me?
It can start the work, such as drafting a launch after new code lands. Anything that would go out still follows that channel's step on the ladder, so at first it waits for your yes.
How many pages can it watch?
Up to 10 pages per workspace: your own site or your competitors'. It reads each one about once a day and sorts a change into pricing, positioning or other.
When does the daily summary arrive?
Once a day at the hour you choose, 8 in the morning unless you change it, and only when there is something to say.
